Kerouac’s Road: The Beat of a Nation explores how Jack Kerouac’s On the Road still resonates in modern America. Blending stories of present-day “on-the-roaders” with insights from those inspired by or close to Kerouac, the film features Josh Brolin, W. Kamau Bell, Natalie Merchant, Matt Dillon, and more. It reveals a rarely seen side of the writer, shaped by his immigrant roots, struggles with identity, and addiction. With never-before-seen archive material, this documentary offers a fresh perspective on the enduring myth of the road and what it says about the American spirit.
