Public Enemy’s Legendary S1Ws Get the Spotlight in Groundbreaking New Docu-Film

The militant minds behind Public Enemy finally get their moment in the spotlight.


Directed by Janol Ture, the new documentary To My Rescue: It Was the S1Ws dives into the untold story of the Security of the First World (S1Ws), the disciplined, powerful brotherhood that redefined hip hop stage presence and became a symbol of resistance.

The film features rare stories from original S1W members alongside appearances by legends like Chuck D, Ice Cube, Ice-T, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, and Doug E. Fresh.
