A vibrant documentary capturing the playful chaos and social energy of Banksy's guerrilla art campaign across New York City, celebrating street art as both creative rebellion and communal treasure hunt.

On October 1, 2013, the elusive street artist Banksy launched a month-long residency in New York, an art show he called Better Out Than In. As one new work of art was presented each day in a secret location, a group of fans, called “Banksy Hunters,” took to the streets and blew up social media.
