Description

When Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg
and William Burroughs met at
Columbia University in the 1940s,
they spawned a movement, then
called the Beats, that set precedents
for the political, hippie and spiritual
movements of the 1960s and ‘70s.
This comprehensive portrait of the
Beat Generation includes interviews
with virtually every surviving figure
from this period. Johnny Depp,
Dennis Hopper and John Turturro
perform dramatized readings of
works by Kerouac, Burroughs
and Ginsberg. The Source is the
definitive film portrait of the Beat
Generation and the countercultural
movements that followed, directed
with flair by Academy Award®
winner Chuck Workman.
