The great Beat Generation experiments took place in Tangier, the Moroccan city where William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and the Moroccan painter HAMRI taught Jack Kerouac, Timothy Leary, and Allen Ginsberg how to live outside the law. 

This film features one of the last interviews with Burroughs and previously unseen vintage footage of him in his prime during the 50s and early 60s.
