    Late twentieth century globalization was first evidenced not through PC’s, the internet, or cell phones, but by hip hop. The earliest of the five elements of hip hop to go all world was graffiti art. This comprehensive documentary weaves together original interviews and footage of artists in action to tell a vibrant history of street art and graffiti. Territorial marks as sprayed color jump to the beat in France, Australia, Brazil, Japan, and back again to the States in this visual sound portrait. Word and art is bond! DS
