''Neukölln Unlimited'' is a 2010 German documentary. The film follows three Lebanese siblings—Hassan, Lial and Maradona—through their daily lives in Berlin's district of Neukölln. The film was co-produced by the German broadcaster RBB in collaboration with the Franco-German cultural channel Arte. Financial support for the documentary came from the , DFFF, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, as well as from MFG Baden-Württemberg and the MEDIA Programme of the European Union. The children of the Akkouch family Hassan (18), Lial (19), and Maradona (14) are successful musicians and breakdancers who live in Berlin. They grew up with hip hop and streetdance, that is their language and their passion. But the pressure has put a strain on the two teenagers and a rivalry arises about who should be the family's main breadwinner. In the meantime, Maradona gets himself into more and more trouble, and is suspended from school. He is at the crossroads between his siblings’ ambitious lifestyle and the street life of his mates. However, a surprising qualification for a TV-casting show could prove to be his turning point. If he wins the 100,000 euro prize money, he might be the one who saves the family. ''Neukölln Unlimited'' can best be described as a musical film that deals with the topic of integration of immigrant youth living in neglected urban areas. ==Music and dance== The film score was produced by the German composers Eike Hosenfeld, Moritz Denis and Tim Stanzel. The musicians took their inspirations from the urban music played by the film's protagonists Hassan and Lial, breakdance type music heard during battles, as well as traditional middle-eastern melodies. This mixture of different sounds emphasizes the "living-in-two cultures" of the film's protagonists and their peers in Neukölln. Other songs heard in the film were performed by Hassan and Lial's band NoIBN, and were produced by the independent music label Foreign Flavour. A lot of emphasis is also put on dance. Beside the various subgenres of street dancing, other forms like contemporary and expressionist dance are used as filmic metaphors for the protagonists' coming of age. The soundtrack of the film is released exclusively for download by the German record label Salon Mondial. The album includes the complete music from the documentary, as well as some bonus tracks inspired by the film. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neukölln Unlimited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
