About the film
Follows Basquiat’s early life as the child of middle-class Haitian and Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn, through his adventures in the punk subculture and up to his breakout as a major American artist. All the while, special attention is paid to Basquiat’s mental and emotional state, with interviews from former friends and colleagues to supplement his sisters’ impressions.
From Brooklyn childhood to New York’s punk scene and artistic breakthrough, this documentary traces Basquiat’s life through family memories, rare archival images and never-before-seen works.
