# Watch the graffiti documentary ‘Unlike U’ for free Do you remember movies such as *Beat Street* (1984), *Wild Style* (1983) or *Wholetrain* (2006) and the documentary *Style Wars* (1983)? All these gave great insight into the world of modern graffiti, bombing, tagging and trainwriting. In early 2011, filmmakers **Henrik Regel** and **Björn Birg** stepped up with a new documentary, focussing strictly on the trainwriting culture of Germany's capital. ***Unlike U*** shows the big quality and long tradition graffiti has on Berlin's U-Bahn-trains. Covering artists such as **ABIS** (**B.A.D.**), **Foto Sven**, **1UP Crew**, **POET**, **Wesp** and many more, *Unlike U* shows the long background of Berlin's underground culture, from the fall of the Berlin wall until the present day. It explains the motivation of spraying a whole train and portrays sprayers on their way around U-Bahn trains during the night, but also the work of special police unit Graffiti in Berlin (**GIB**) and their hunt for the people behind this so-called illegal art. By now, *Unlike U* has created quite a stir, within and outside the scene. Berlin's public transportation company **BVG** seem to have decided to [stop circulation of the movie][1]{: target="_blank"}, by confronting the filmmakers with a cease and desist order. Just as the subculture the movie is covering, the 90 minute long documentary *Unlike U* is now streaming free for the time being. Watch *Unlike U* as long as it lasts below.
