Bomb It

Boston Premiere

Take a wild ride into the heart of graffiti culture, where the love for art and ego clash explosively with law and order. On top of a raging soundtrack of punk, hip-hop, and funk, this high-octane film explores the many manifestations of “bombing.” In raw interviews, pioneers of bombing and underground and well-recognized artists from New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona, Cape Town, Sao Paolo, and Paris demonstrate why they risk arrest and injury to express themselves in spray paint and marker.
