Film Overview
STYLE WARS is definitive account of New York's hip hop sub-culture. The film journeys into the secret world of the city's graffiti writers who risk arrest and injury in the subway tunnels and train yards to win fame for their names and their artistic prowess. The result is a travelling art gallery to some, and a plague to others. STYLE WARDS offers a gallery of remarkable personalities, art, music and dance from the heart and soul of a highly visable, but misunderstood world.
