Review of Following Sean (2006) by Melvin W — 17 Apr 2014

Following Sean is a good little documentary about Ralph Arlyck going back and meeting Sean Farrell 30 years after he interviewed him when he was just a kid. Sean was born into a family that decided to move to Haight St. in San Francisco. Sean's father Johnny was a hippy who wasn't going to work for the man and he continues to be the same person to this day.

The interest factor in Following Sean comes into play when you see the man Sean grew up to be. After the first interview, Sean's parents got a lot of flack and even their parents thought that their kids, including Sean, would be criminals or drug addicts. That however isn't the case and it's really interesting just how different Sean is from his father.
