American Masters explores the definitive story of international art sensation Keith Haring, who blazed a trail through the art scene of ‘80s New York and revolutionized the worlds of pop culture and fine art. The film features previously unheard interviews with Haring and his closest friends, family and collaborators who share their revelatory encounters—touching poignantly on the AIDS crisis—which made a tragic icon of this life-affirming artist.
