BOMB IT is an international graffiti documentary. It explores the interplay between worldwide graffiti movements and the global proliferation of "Quality of Life" laws.

George Kelling, co-author, of Broken Windows, a seminal Atlantic Monthly article that formed the intellectual basis for Rudy Giuliani's widely imitated "Quality of Life" campaign was interviewed for this film.[1]

The documentary was made with the participation of graffiti artists across the globe. BOMB IT features original footage from many controversial graffiti writers of modern times, from Cornbread and TAKI 183 to Shepard Fairey to Os Gemeos. [2]

The film is directed by award-winning director Jon Reiss and will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. In addition to Taki 183, the film features Tracy 168, TKid, Cope2, Revs, 2ESAE, Zephyr, Claw, Ron English, Lady Pink, Darius and Downey, Chino, and Ket. [3]
