Description
This documentary charts the rise and fall of Jack Kerouac: legendary author of On The Road, poet, drifter and heart and mind of the Beat Generation.
Featuring rare interviews with his contemporaries Steve Allen, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs & Charlie Parker, this programme explores the man behind the myth.
His words touched the restless souls of the fifties, which in turn led him down the path to his own destruction.
Set to the jazz of Thelonius Monk with a special appearance by Charlie Parker in his only film clip, this mesmerizing film takes Kerouac beyond his well documented weakness for alcohol, to reveal "what happened" when fame was thrust upon an essentially reticent man and artist.
