"Bomb It" is an international graffiti and street art documentary filmed on 5 continents. It explores the interplay between worldwide graffiti movements, the global proliferation of "Quality of Life" laws, and the fight for control over public space.

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.

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.
