POPaganda: The Art & and Crimes of Ron English

2006 · 79 min · Documentary

Documentary about street artist Ron English, who vandalizes billboards with elaborate, anti-corporate propaganda.

In this critically acclaimed documentary (filmed in an appropriately guerilla style), director-producer Pedro Carvajal captures vigilante artist Ron English as he makes a series of thought-provoking -- and sometimes just plain odd -- statements. The film also serves as a biography, chronicling English's evolution from a simple painter to an activist-instigator who skewers just about everything -- from Ronald McDonald to the war in Iraq.
