Jean-Michel Basquiat

A portrait of a renowned artist, this documentary shines the spotlight on New York City painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Featuring extensive interviews conducted by Basquiat's friend, filmmaker Tamra Davis, the production reveals how he dealt with being a black artist in a predominantly white field.

Dive into the early years of the artist’s life, including some of his never-before-seen work, personal writings, and portraits of New York in the 70s.
