Going Furthur is an American-Canadian documentary film about taking Ken Kesey's bus Furthur back on the road in 2014 for a 75-day trip covering 15,000 miles, along with a group of new Merry Pranksters.

Synopsis[edit]

Furthur is a retrofitted school bus purchased by author Ken Kesey in 1964[3] to carry his "Merry Band of Pranksters" cross-country. The bus was also featured in Tom Wolfe's 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.[4]

In Summer of 2014,[3] Zane Kesey, son of Ken, took a replica of Furthur on the first major trip since Ken took the bus to Europe in 1999, on a 15,000 mile tour[5] of the United States, stopping at music festivals and other events. The bus makes stops at The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors - Alex Grey and Allyson Grey's art sanctuary,[6] Millbrook, New York, the infamous home of Timothy Leary and Woodstock's 45th anniversary.[3][7] The film features archival footage of Hunter S. Thompson,[7] and features interviews with Alex Grey, Lee Quarnstrom, Ken Babbs, George Walker and Wavy Gravy.[3] The filmmakers later made 6 trips to complete the film, including visiting Burning Man festival.[3]

Release[edit]

The film had its premiere at San Francisco DocFest in June 2016.[1] The film also played at Maui Film Festival,[8] Whistler Film Festival,[9] Byron Bay Film Festival,[10] San Juan Film Festival and had a screening at Burning Man.

The film was nominated for an Alliance of Women Film Journalists award at the Whistler Film Festival.[9][11][12]

Home media[edit]

The film is slated to be released through streaming services beginning July 9, 2021.[13]
