An essential record of 1980s street art, this landmark documentary follows graffiti greats like Dondi, Seen, and one-armed writer Kase2 as they turn New York City and its subway system into a sprawling, spray-painted wonderland - much to the chagrin of irascible mayor Ed Koch. Winner of the documentary Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Style Wars captures the break-dancing battles, legendary music, and propulsive energy of hip-hop culture before it went mainstream.
