Released in 2008, the straightforward documentary spans seven years of debauchery and creativity by the Los Angeles-based street artist. From his crime-ridden childhood and search for acceptance in the art community to his life-changing time spent in solitary confinement in a Tokyo prison, “Dirty Hands” captures every bit of emotion, energy and eventual understanding that characterizes the free flowing relationship between Choe and his surroundings.
