Featuring Kanye West, Nas, Rakim, and KRS-One—rap stars of today and yesterday—the video attempts to show the timelessness of hip hop culture and those famed Air Force One sneakers.

But any sense of show business as usual ended when one of the theater managers came by to collect passports and identity documents. The Syrian government is in the process of tightening its generous residency laws for Iraqi refugees, and the fear of deportation looms larger over the cast than a newspaper critic with a grudge...
