Ce documentaire fascinant rapporte l’évolution et les différentes étapes du projet artistique, participatif le plus important du monde, Inside Out. Le jeune artiste français JR, voyage à travers le monde entier pour inviter les communautés/les populations à partager les causes qui leur sont chères au travers d’affichages de portraits géants en noir et blanc dans la rue. Nous voyons alors des jeunes mais aussi des personnes plus âgées prendre possession de murs qui étaient auparavant interdits à la libre expression. Ils défient ainsi les limites de ce qu’ils pensaient impossible. En faisant un arrêt sur image sur ce processus, Alastair Siddons créé un lumineux témoignage sur le pouvoir de l’image et le rôle que l’art peut jouer dans la transformation de certaines communautés.
Après les Etats-Unis en avril (au Tribeca Film Festival et sur HBO) et le Royaume Uni en octobre, le film a été diffusé en avant-première dans la salle MK2 Bibliothèque à Paris le 12 Novembre 2013. Il a ensuite été officiellement diffusé en exclusivité dans les salles MK2 et à la BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France) à partir du 13 Novembre 2013. Il est disponible sur iTunes pour les USA, le Canada et le Royaume-Uni. La version française est prévue en DVD plus tard dans l'année.
