- Summary:
- "Jack Shea's powerful documentary explores the relationship between the author of On the Road and his never acknowledged daughter, Jan Kerouac (Baby Driver). This cross-country film-journey is an epic Whitmanesque road poem, searching for answers to the controversy over Kerouac's estate. "The most important film about Kerouac ever made," proclaims Beat poet Ron Whitehead. Necessary questions are asked. Multi-faceted responses to the Kerouac ownership debate, to the lives, works and deaths of father and daughter presented. Original members of the Beat Generation are quilted with a new generation of poets and writers."--container.
