Movie Meant to Be

For every Hungarian teenager, the name of Pogány Induló must sound familiar. He started out as a child YouTuber and at the age of 20 became a hip-hop star filling stadiums. His life is a wild ride, but the film is not a story of rise and fall. The camera follows the rapper over several years, shifting between the stage and his complicated personal life, capturing the frenetic dynamics of a career marked by addiction and breakdowns. At one point, the musician, regarded as the uncompromisingly honest voice of Generation Z, becomes a figure of a distinct political dimension in Hungary.
