ART is a Weapon and hacks should not be armed. This city has some decent graffiti, but I have to say it’s hard to find. You’d think there would be fewer hacks in a town like SF that prides itself on it’s bohemian, artistic bent. No matter, this film is looking pretty fine, and should satisfy the graffiti fans hunger. BOMB IT was shot in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tijuana, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, Berlin, Cape Town, São Paulo, and Tokyo.

Through interviews and guerilla footage of graffiti writers in action on 5 continents, BOMB IT tells the story of graffiti from its origins in prehistoric cave paintings thru its notorious explosion in New York City during the 70’s and 80’s, then follows the flames as they paint the globe.
