BookWars, an insider's look at the untamed world of NYC street booksellers, is the first feature by filmmaker and NYC street bookseller Jason Rosette. BookWars world premiered on March 11, 2000 at the New York Underground Film Festival where it won the Best Documentary award. BookWars is: "The gritty world of New York City street booksellers is exposed in a remarkable story that chronicles their lives and loves and their unique perspectives on life. Directed by fellow street bookseller and filmmaker Jason Rosette, BookWars explores the other side of those tables that line the streets of the Village, the Lower East Side, 6th avenue, and elsewhere in New York City. See the University and the NYPD try to shut them down!" Rub shoulders with the riff-raff, the swarm of the hive, the Troubadors of our hundred channel society: BookWars.
