Synopsis
20 years after the release of their iconic debut 'Unter Tage', RAG take stock. With only two LPs, the MC Aphroe, Pahel and Galla as well as DJ and producer Mr. Wiz left their mark on the first German rap boom of the late 90s. Two decades later, the film follows the former band members from the deepest Ruhr Valley to Washington D.C. and New York, documents their first gigs after 15 years of stage abstinence, and discusses the tragic death of RAG member Galla. Companions like Jan Delay, Kool Savas, Marteria, Curse, Die Kassierer and many more have their say. The film title is a reference to the Gil Scott-Heron classic 'We Almost Lost Detroit'.“You don’t have to be a fan of German rap to love this film. It’s a story about friendship, the joy and the damage of success and what follows – and the universal ways in which hip-hop brought friends together worldwide.” Emma Warren
