A street documentary, Bombing tracks the everyday life of Thodoris, Vangelis, Thomas and Giannis (aka. Jef82), Mr Phaz, Eversor and JK-1 – hip-hop graffiti artists and self-proclaimed “correspondents of events”. Their daily quest sends them through Athens searching for right colours, true rhymes and the adventure of ‘bombing’.
“We like bombing, the illegal. Legal graffiti doesn’t express how we feel and we don’t want it.” Jef82
