Style Wars is a legendary documentary, filmed in 1983, which helped the graffiti movement from New York to spread around the world. Thirty years later, Veli and Amos, two Style Wars fans from Europe, trip through today’s graffiti and street art scene. The journey takes them from Europe to New York and ends in the Middle East. Style Wars 2 features encounters with graffiti artists and presents different artistic views. Along the way, Veli and Amos also happen to attend boxing fights in New York and visit hair dressers in the West Bank. While the movie’s main focus is on graffiti, it also raises topics like art, politics and lifestyle.
