'Following Sean' is a 2005 documentary film directed by Ralph Arlyck, and a follow-up to his 1969 student short 'Sean', which features four-year-old Sean's thoughts on marijuana (including his own use), police presence, and freewheeling lifestyles. The film's notoriety landed a screening in the White House and a variety of predictions regarding the outcome of Sean's life - whether he could grow up to embody the hippy philosophy, or whether he would turn out a drug dealer or stock broker.[https://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2007/followingsean/about.html PBS Synopsis]

'Following Sean' picks up in the mid-1990s and turns Sean's story into a meditation on generational changes and legacies that are handed down as a result of choices made in heated political climates. The film was met with high critical praise, receiving an 86% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10006378/ Rotten Tomatoes] and a 64 on Metacritic.[http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/followingsean Metacritic]
