The New York bookseller documentary BookWars is an independent film by Jason Rosette (produced by Camerado Media) about the life and times of New York City street booksellers.

Made on an ultra-low budget in a jazzy, impressionistic style reminiscent of the films of Robert Frank and poetry of the Beat Generation, BookWarsis notable as the only first-person documentary made during then-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's controversial "Quality of Life" campaign, which sought to limit and control individuals engaged in informal economic activities on the streets of New York City.

BookWars was released in June 2000, winning the Best Documentary Award at the 2000 New York Underground Film Festival and premiering theatrically at New York's Cinema Village. An advance screening review by New York Film Critics Circle critic Matt Seitz called the film 'Superb' and 'Mesmerizing' , with numerous other positive reviews following.

Despite its very modest budget, BookWars enjoyed numerous domestic and international TV sales, and is now part of the Circulating Film and Video collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
