A feature length documentary that chronicles the never before revealed true story of the formative years of music superstars Chuck D and The Bomb Squad's Keith Shocklee.
Before they were the worldwide phenomenon known as Public Enemy, Keith and Chuck were just two teens from Roosevelt, Long Island who wanted to see their passions become a piece of the fabric of American culture. Public Enemy would ignite the greatest musical socio-political revolution since the 1960's. Ronald Reagan would call them terrorists. Children of the “Me Generation” would call them heroes. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would call them stars.
Keith and Chuck would call themselves two kids from Roosevelt, Long Island AKA “One Square Mile”, who cared for their community and the people that helped them get to where they are today.
Fight the power... cause we're louder than a bomb.
