Digital News Production: Banksy Documentary

As we have chosen to do our news package on the art piece Banksy has left in Folkestone I thought I would watch the documentary 'Exit Though the Gift Shop' which is about Banksy. This is the documentary unfortunately this is the only one i could find on youtube and its English most the way through but has French subtitles:



From watching this I have found out that Banksy is like just everyone else he has something he is passion about in life and he just wants to share that with the world, this documentary shows that Banksy goes to any state possible to reach his ambitions and goals by climbing building and facing heights just to get people to see his art works. What Banksy does is highly illegal and he has never been caught, plus no one knows the identity of this illusive artist but he carries on doing what he loves and makes him happy.
This documentary is not really about Banksy but a French man who takes a video camera everywhere he goes, his cousin is a street artist named space invader and he follows him around meeting new artist until one day he gets the change to meet the illusive Banksy and he gets to film it.
