Street-Art documentary

Today we watched a documentary about street art. It was all filmed by one guy, Thierry Guetta, one of Banksy's biggest fan's. At first Thierry sold cheap clothing for high prices claiming it was 'designer' and filming only was a hobby. On one trip to France Thierry started filming his cousin 'Invader' when he was putting his space invader mosaics all over France. This sparked Thierry's interest in street art and soon he was filming practically all the popular street artists except Banksy. When he finally did get a chance he started making more and more footage until he finally made a film. Unfourtunatly the film was horrible and Banksy said the nicest thing he could to Thierry and suggested he try street art. Soon Thierry put on a massive show using all the tricks of the trade he learnt from the years of filming. He then became the man in front of the camera instead of behind it and made tonnes of money as Mr. Brainwash because of hype mostly.
