According to one hip-hop artist in the documentary "Frekuensia Kolombiana," Colombia has coffee, beautiful women and cocaine.

 But don't be mistaken, he adds, Colombia also has much more than this. There is a whole culture of youth who are standing up to create art in the form of hip-hop, which is documented by Colombian filmmakers Vanessa Gocksch and Walter Hernandez in "Frekuensia Kolombiana, Tuning Into the Columbian Hip-Hop Movement."
