Description

"Directed with infectious zeal, it's a photographer bio-doc that always feels to be in motion, especially given its excellent editing, fascinating subject, and narrative ambition." − RogerEbert.com

“1977, the Bronx was burning down. No one really wanted to write that graffiti was an interesting thing. But I don’t want to shoot something that’s done with permission. It’s an outlaw art. That’s what makes it thrilling.” — Martha Cooper

In 1970s New York, trailblazing street photographer Martha Cooper captured some of the first images of graffiti at a time when the city had declared war on it. Decades later, Cooper has become an influential figure to the global movement of street artists.

    Very cool time capsule documentary. The photography and footage captures the essences of the time and lifestyle of New York in the 70's. Highly recommend.

    You know Samo?

    Man, this documentary is on point! The picture quality is excellent!

    You like Samo? What about Rammellzee? How about the Graffiti Bible? If any of those names sound familiar to you, you may have heard of this film, maybe even seen it. Martha was there. If you ain't seen or heard this, then head on over, 'cause this documentary should bring you there, too.
