JR: The Artist Whose Mind-Bending Portraits Cover the West Bank, Louvre, and a Supermax Prison

In this episode, JR shares his journey from tagging buildings in Paris as a teen to using art to bridge divides in tense and dangerous places – from the Middle East to Brazilian favelas to Tehachapi, a maximum-security prison in California.
