After the success of "The Motorcycle Dairies," Brazilian director Walter Salles has been assigned to adapt the classic novel by Jack Kerouac that many directors including Francis Ford Coppola attempted to adapt but remains fruitless. In order to research the possibility of a film, Salles made this documentary which is a work in progress that traces the novel significance to the world with rare interviews and clips of Kerouac and friends as well as other artists who have been influenced by the book. Francis Ford Coppola, Dennis Hopper, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp and Peter Coyote give their input and idea how a film version should be. The overwhelming task that lies for Salles who seems to be the right choice for project whether he delivers or not, remains to be seen but there's will be a compelling documentary.
