Movie Description
The story of three young men who defined the "Beat Generation" in the mid '40s through poetry and prose. Jack Kerouac (Depp), Allen Ginsburg (Turturro), and William S. Burroughs (Hopper) are the subject of this insightful documentary by Chuck Workman (SUPERSTAR: The Life And Times Of Andy Warhol) who utilizes interview footage, feature film and television clips, performances of fellow beat artists, and dramatized readings to further examine the story of these cultural icons.
