WILD STYLE

Maverick tagger Zoro’s work attracts the attention of an East Village art patron who commissions him to paint the stage for a giant Rapper’s Convention. Zoro’s passion for graffiti art is soon thrown into conflict with his strained personal life.

Directed by Charlie Ahearn, this is the first true hip-hop film, capturing the early energy of the sound that would take over the world. Set in the early 80s Bronx, the film’s fictional plot yields to the real artistry occurring in its setting, simmering with a cultural revolution about to emerge.
