Gawker To-Do: Lady Sovereign, The Boys of Baraka, or Tree o' Fire
•Lady Sovereign, the 5'1" rap sensation, takes her Napoleon complex out on the masses at the Knitting Factory tonight. Get there early; we doubt you can see her from the back of the room. [flavorpill]
• The Boys of Baraka, a documentary showing through Dec. 13 at Film Forum, follows twenty boys from inner-city Baltimore to an experimental boarding school in Kenya. Social commentary aside, the practical jokes possible when teenagers meet rhinoceri makes this film quite promising. As a bonus, tonight's screening features a Q&A with filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. [Paper]
• The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Carrie Underwood, and Regis Philbin all in one place? Yes, it's true. So if the hoi polloi aren't your style, allow us to warn you away from Rockefeller Center tonight: the tree gets lit at 7, and unless you do, too, it won't be pretty. [Upcoming]
