Banksy and the Rise of Outlaw Art

2020 · 108 min

A thoughtful, slightly mischievous look at art, fame and mystery that rewards curiosity more than spectacle.

Overview
Banksy is the world's most infamous street artist, whose political art, criminal stunts and daring invasions have outraged the establishment for over two decades. Featuring rare interviews with Banksy, this is the story of how an outlaw artist led a revolutionary new movement and built a multi-million dollar empire, while his identity remained shrouded in mystery.
