Documentary explore the unfulfilled promise of Beat Generation icon Jack Kerouac, covering the period from the publication of his notorious novel On the Road in 1957 to his alcohol-related death 12 years later. Excellent documentary drawing on footage, audio, and interviews with those that knew him best. It's not an exhaustive biography, but explores his reputation as a writer and his personal decline.

What Happened To Kerouac? is a lively and revealing investigation into the personal history and creative process of Jack Kerouac father of the Beat Generation, author of "On The Road" and pivotal figure of the fifties countercultural revolution.

Features Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, Steve Allen, William Buckley, Charlie Parker, Neal Cassady, Carolyn Cassady, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure and Gary Snyder.
