Outstanding overview of the worldwide graffiti scene. However, I am disappointed that the woman with the low-cut top was selected to be the poster/cover image for the film. She is hardly featured in the film, and is not a highly compelling subject -- she doesn't even paint anymore! A crass example of commercialization. "Put a busty woman on the front, and more people will pay to see it!" So that is disappointing. But the filmmaker's survey of the global graffiti scene does not disappoint. He is comprehensive in his scholarship and effectively presents both sides of the pro- and anti- graffiti argument. Any art aficionado ought to give this a look. Ye shall be enlightened.
