Hip Hop is a real passion for Angélique Germain, she grew up with this culture and the most important for her is the values delivered by this movement. At university, she made a research about the representations of rap music on the french TV, for a master’s degree in information and communication sciences, specialized in Media and images. During her free time, she created a media online : Hip Open, in 2011. The year after, she created an organization with the same name, for this media and to organize debates, shows, workshops... To explorate more the universe of Hip Hop, she decided to make a documentary about it in different countries. The dream came true with Universal State of Mind
