Montreal street artist Roadsworth captured in new documentary

From 2001 to 2004, Montreal harboured its own answer to world-renowned street artist Banksy — the mysterious Roadsworth.

Roadsworth transformed a crosswalk into a giant boot print, a traffic divider into a vineyard and a left turn lane into a giant zipper.

He left more than 80 paintings on the streets over three years, never signing his name.

Montrealers were divided over whether the paintings, done at night with a stencil, were good fun or vandalism of public property.

Filmmaker Alan Kohl was intrigued and wanted to capture the artist in action.
