West Coast Beat and BeyondSan Francisco's bohemian history was already renowned—and then intensely amplified when the 1950s creative renaissance came on the scene. The most significant influences of this movement were Beat figures Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Filmed on location in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, and at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, this film is a tribute to the ongoing vision of America's renegade minds—and a salute to the visionary power of Jack Kerouac. Narrated by Kerouac's biographer Gerald Nicosia. (58 minutes)
