Synopsis

In London, Paris and Madrid we meet purveyors of the Street Art scene, including one of its pioneers Blek le Rat. The film transports us from different artists to different cities, examining how the growth and popularity of street art has affected its roots, how it distinguishes itself from Graffiti and how its become commodified and co-opted by the Art Market.
