Lauded as a “breakthrough documentary” and the “Holy Grail of hip-hop movies”, the iconic status of Style Wars has only increased since its initial release at Sundance in 1983. Capturing a unique point in history before hip-hop culture entered the mainstream, the film gives the viewer an intimate look into the lives of New York City’s graffiti kings and b-boys. With dynamic art, an exuberant soundtrack and compelling humanity, Style Wars remains a groundbreaking film achievement.
