Profiles Keith Haring who died of AIDS in February 1990. Haring went from being an anonymous graffiti artist who drew chalk figures on New York City subway posters, to being called the successor to Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. His hieroglyphics-like style filtered the modern world through the perspective and wonderment of a child, yet he always incorporated social issues such as the fight against apartheid, crack, and AIDS into his work. Includes interviews with with gallery owners Leo Castelli and Tony Shafrazi, actor/friend Dennis Hopper, and Whitney Museum curator Barbara Haskell.

Originally released as a motion picture in 1989.
