Synopsis

EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP is a documentary narrated by Rhys Ifans that reveals "the incredible true story of how the world's greatest Street Art movie was never made."

Eccentric French shop owner Thierry Guetta attempts to film the world of graffiti art in thrilling detail, following many of the most infamous figures at work in the streets. As EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP documents Guetta's attempts to locate and unmask renowned graffiti artist Banksy, the artist successfully manages to keep his identity cloaked, remaining safe from prosecution, and turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results.

"The story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed."
