“How safe is this from 1 to 10?” Doesn’t look like 7.

At first he heard stories, then he saw their red & blue tags scattered across Berlin, which prompted Good Guy Boris, a well known underground filmmaker and author, to dedicated an entire documentary to the most notorious group of graffiti artists today – the Berlin Kidz.

On February 1st, a trailer was released for the episode 6 of the Grifters Code: Über Freaks. The documentary following the trailer is in its entirety dedicated to Berlin Kidz and their reckless adventures, taking place in the very center of urban Berlin.
