The world’s graffiti artists emerge from the cover of darkness in 2020 to impart their skillset on an unimaginable new canvas - the boarded up shop windows and doors of a global economy that has been forcefully shut to protect against a deadly virus that is sweeping across the planet. Hellbent to infect every human in its path, the virus kills indiscriminately and even the most sophisticated and wealthy countries are left scrambling for lifesaving ventilators, protective equipment and medical supplies.

When human tragedy is met with a total disregard for human life, millions abandon the safety of their homes and erupt onto the street in mass protest to demand justice.

The United States, long known as the beacon of freedom and democracy, becomes a sad example of how greed, corruption and hate can bring a nation to its knees.

The events that unfold around 2020 are truly “beyond words” and will undoubtedly be claimed one of the most significant moments in modern history. Former Washington correspondent Cindi Adler documents the events in real time and, in a voice that transcends all languages, presents more than 180 pieces of street art from around the globe that shine a light on the heroes and villains, traitors and patriots, and call out elected officials who fail in their promise to protect and serve.
