Magic Trip: Ken Kesey's Search for a Kool Place (2011)
Een vrijgevochten portret van de legendarische roadtrip van Ken Kesey en de Merry Prankster door Amerika in de legendarische Magic Bus. In 1964 vertrok Ken Kesey, de beroemde auteur van 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', op een legendarische, LSD-aangedreven cross-country roadtrip naar de Wereldtentoonstelling in New York. Hij werd vergezeld door 'The Merry Band of Pranksters', een afvallige groep waarheidszoekers uit de tegencultuur, waaronder Neal Cassady, het Amerikaanse icoon vereeuwigd in Kerouac's 'On the Road', en de chauffeur en schilder van de psychedelische Magic Bus.
Regiseurs: Alison Ellwood, Alex Gibney.
