Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: Selina Miles' 'Martha: A Picture Story'

Capturing the career of iconic graffiti photographer Martha Cooper, Selina Miles' documentary is a testament to its subject's passion, as well as the profound impact her work has had on the once-maligned street-art scene. In conversation with both the film's director and its central figure, Stephen A Russell uncovers a filmmaking approach that mirrors Cooper's own process: one that diligently bears testimony, and allows art to speak for itself.
