Rubble Kings is an editorial by Ahmed Bahhodh first published on Les Enfants à Paris and is inspired by Rubble Kings documentary film 2015.
From 1968 to 1975, gangs ruled New York City. Beyond the idealistic hopes of the civil rights movement lay an unfocused rage. Neither law enforcement nor social agency could end the escalating bloodshed. Peace came only through the most unlikely and courageous of events that would change the world for generations to come by giving birth to hip-hop culture.
Rubble Kings chronicles life during this era of gang rule, tells the story of how a few extraordinary, forgotten people did the impossible, and how their actions impacted New York City and the world over.
About the photo-shoot:
A popular tourist destination due to its sheer beauty Amersfoort as a city has been greatly preserved since the middle ages and with a fantastic range of historical buildings, the City centre is one of the most picturesque in the Netherlands.
It’s also a great location for photo-shoots, and Ahmed didn’t have to think twice when I asked him to come to Holland. It was a great day and i think this shines through in Ahmed’s wonderful work.
