Plots(1)

Two graffiti activists are trying to wake the world up by the graffiti art they created, but the world is more difficult to change than they thought. Los Angeles cleans over 30 million square feet of graffiti per year. After the new election, political graffiti has been rising tremendously. Teacher and Meg Zany are two graffiti activists who are based in LA. When they sensed the injustice around them, they choose to use graffiti to express their anger, hoping to awake the society. Both of them are trying to raise awareness of education issues or women’s rights. However, they are facing tons of different challenges. Either getting caught by the police, or being threatened by the local gangsters, or being teased just because of their gender, the film will follow their actions towards the problems they are trying to fix. While the result of the projects remains unknown, these two artists are fighting hard no matter what happens. (Tiburon International Film Festival)
