Going Furthur (documentary/feature)
Fifty years after the iconic first Trip, Ken Kesey’s son Zane took the Furthur Bus -
and his father’s legacy- back on the road, for its longest running tour in history.
Armed with a new band of Merry Pranksters, the Furthur bus traveled over 15,000 miles in 75 days,
riding into music festivals, community events, tribal gatherings and national landmarks,
reestablishing itself as a symbol of radical self-expression and cultural revolution
all across the country.
Through archive footage as well as over 400 hours of film, we explore the roots of a culture
birthed in the early sixties, and how the mission of those first few idealists
have influenced a new generation.
This is an on-the-ground account of how Ken Kesey, the pranksters and the acid tests
helped to generatea non-conformist society of free thinkers, artists and altruists
who are now pushing the evolutionary envelope of human potential.
