Academy award-winning director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) and co-director Alison Ellwood serve up the ’60s in this psychedelic road movie adventure, an acid trip on wheels. Magic Trip tells the story of Ken Kesey’s infamous, drug-fuelled road trip across 1960’s America. Kesey, author of the classic novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, along with friends, travelled together in a converted school bus and witnessed firsthand the changes sweeping across America; from the civil rights movement to the birth of free love and the hippie movement and of course, lots of recreational drugs. Magic Trip uses the footage that Kesey and friend filmed, to create a film that allows us to experience the trip for ourselves.
