Synopsis: Umar Bin Hassan hasn’t even hit 70 yet, but he walks with difficulty and there’s sadness and fatigue in his eyes. As a member of The Last Poets, a group of performance poets who expressed the progressive spirit of the times starting in the late 1960s, he was a major influence on later hip-hop artists. Scared of Revolution concentrates on Hassan’s personal life, in which he still fights his demons.

Critics' reviews

"[It] delivers a deep dive into the psyche of the man it describes as the 'Godfather of Rap' but unfortunately skims over much of the history of the group and its seismic impact on hip-hop."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
