New Movie 'Mongolian Bling' Covers Hip-Hop in Mongolia - Scene Asia - WSJ: "Ulaanbaatar isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think about hip-hop.

But the Mongolian capital of 1 million people is the unlikely center of a rap renaissance. That spirit has been captured in “Mongolian Bling,” a film by first-time director Benj Binks.

The 90-minute documentary, which opened Beijing’s Asian Cinema Week, has a busy schedule ahead. After its showings in Beijing and Shanghai, it plays next month in Toronto, Vancouver and Hartford, Conn., followed by May screenings in London and San Diego."
