2022 | DCP | AUS | D: Luke Cornish   

On Sydney’s urban fringe, 2 young women battle for a better life in the underground world of competitive street dance.

Patricia, Romanian-born and hanging out for a visa, is a breakdancer. Gabi, of Chilean-Samoan heritage, pops with power. Both dream of escaping the rough hand they’ve been dealt.

Will a win at Australia’s biggest dance competition, Destructive Steps – in which 60 contestants compete in the preliminary rounds - be their golden ticket? Or will the external pressures of financial hardship and volatile relationships stop them from even reaching the dancefloor?

Director Luke Cornish spent 7 years filming the women’s progress. Waiting to see how they fare will have you on the edge of your seat.

After the screening, Director Luke Cornish will join us for a Q&A session.

Winner: Documentary Australia Award, Audience Award for Best Documentary – 2022 Sydney Film Festival
