Lil' Buck: Real Swan plot
From ghetto kid to internet dance sensation and much sought after artist: that's how you can describe Lil' Buck's career. As a little boy he practiced his pointes until he bled (on sneakers), now he works with Madonna and Yo Yo Ma. His performance of the dying swan, in which he combines classical ballet with jookin, has since been viewed by millions of people on YouTube. Jookin emerged from the Memphis underground rap scene in the 1980s. For director Louis Wallecan and his team, Lil' Buck returned to that location and other defining places of his childhood, such as the parking lots where he and his friends danced, the ballet school and his mother's house.
