This documentary offers a rare, intimate look at the life and work of Keith Haring through the eyes of his closest friends. Travel to a remote Brazilian beach where a team works carefully to restore a fading mural Haring painted in 1984. Discover how the local culture, friendships with artists like Kenny Scharf, and a profound sense of community influenced his iconic imagery, introducing new elements like the pregnant woman and dolphins. The film also explores Haring's approach to making art accessible to everyone, his battle against elitism in the art world, and the emotional legacy left behind after the devastating AIDS crisis.
