Exit Through the Gift Shop was released in 2010. It tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant from Los Angeles who has a habit of filming absolutely everything he sees, which leads him to discover an interesting side of nightlife. After spending a few months with street artists, masters of graffiti, which he films to make a documentary, the young Frenchman finally befriends one of the most controversial and enigmatic artists - Banksy. From this point, the camera moves from his hand to the hand of his new friend, Thierry thus becoming the new protagonist of the film.
