As well as being an experienced dancer and battle champion in the hip hop dance world, Ben Wichert was also a finalist on the German version of Got to Dance on the TV stations Pro7 and Sat1.

Believe was filmed and edited by Stefan Muller, a cinematographer and the individual behind KAIZENPICTURES, based in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Making hip hop dance documentaries that represent the voice of hip hop dancers, their philosophy is to improve the perceived prejudice against hip hop culture through emotive film making that captures the moment.

Believe synopsis

Dancing is more than a passion. And living off dancing is more than a dream! This documentary is about Ben Wichert, a freestyle hip hop dancer, who realised that only discipline, power, character and faith can make the difference. Grown up in Germany he promised his parents to graduate and take an ordinary job. The support of his friends, as Ben is saying, was essential to follow his dreams at the same time. Today, Ben is the first German winner of Juste Debout and was finalist of the TV show Got to Dance.
