Wall Writers tells the story of graffiti in its innocence, focusing on the legendary writers of 1967 – 1972.
Narrated by John Waters, it tells the story of a time when “underprivileged” city kids refused to keep lurking in the shadows, when the streets were so wild that fame and infamy became indistinct, when art became a democracy and self-promotion became an art. The film uncovers the origins of wall writing in New York City and Philadelphia and features unprecedented access and exclusive interviews with graffiti legends such as TAKI 183, CORNBREAD, KOOL KLEPTO KIDD, PHIL T GREEK, GREG 69, and many others. (2015, 90 min, digital)
