Exit Through The Gift Shop

SYNOPSIS

Renowned British street artist Banksy is used to fiercely guarding his identity to avoid prosecution. So it was perhaps no surprise when he refused to be filmed by an eccentric Frenchman named Thierry Guetta. This program traces Thierry's attempts to capture the world of graffiti art in detail, following many of the most infamous figures at work in the streets. Thierry attempts to locate and befriend Banksy only to have the artist turn the camera back on him with spectacular results. (From the US, in English and French) (Documentary) (Rpt) M (A,L)
