This 2005 documentary from director Nic Hill offers a brief history of San Francisco graffiti.  By doing so, it offers an idea the origin of West Coast graffiti in general.  It also highlighted some influential artists who were on the scene at one time or another.  While the graphics were visually engaging, it offered little in the way of pieces.  I understand that wasn't its focus and it did show some of the development of style over the years.  Especially since 90% of graffiti pieces are gone within 7 to 10 days.

The strongest part to me was the artist interviews.  The younger generation artists fulfilled a number of various stereotypes, which was dissapointing.  The better interviews were the older artists who were getting up more in the 80's.  Their historical perspective offered a better understanding an excitement to the timeline presented. 

Okay music and a decent movie overall.  Not great, but decent.  Typical message from a typical movie about graffiti, just packaged a little bit nicer.  Add it to your Netflix queue or catch it on TV, but don't hurry down to BlockBuster to rent it.
