Tamra Davis’ documentary The Radiant Child is an intimate look into the destiny of the great artist Jean Michel Basquiat. Twenty years following his death, Davis has released previously unseen interview footage she filmed with her friend in 1983. He was at the height of his fame but only two years shy of death (by overdose at the young age of 27). This film is the story about a genius child, his art, his influence and his legacy.

The Radiant Child opens in New York on July 21st at Film Forum.
