“A love song to the city’s graffiti artists and one of the earliest, most momentous portraits of hip-hop culture committed to film.”
—Time Out

“A vivid evocation of a moment in time … essentially a documentary of history in the early making.”
—The Village Voice

Graffiti and hip-hop culture meet the highbrow art world in Charlie Ahearn’s epochal hybrid doc. With spray paint art legend Lee Quiñones as the artist who is feted by the art world. Starring such luminaries as Fab Five Freddy, Busy Bee, and Grandmaster Flash. The oft-sampled soundtrack is as legendary as the film itself.
