Timothy Leary's Last Trip
This was interesting albeit short, just under an hour. It gives a few details about the lives of Tim as well as Ken Kesey who are the predominant characters of the film. It's a documentary. It had some footage of the pranksters bus trip, early Leary and Kesey interviews as well as late ones. I'd recommend it if you have an interest in the Acid revolution and the culture of North America in the sixties, if you're a fan of Tim or Kesey. The main part of the film revolves around Tim Leary's last days after his cancer diagnosis, hence the title "Timothy Leary's Last Trip". The main event is another bus trip to the Hog Farm commune for a concert. Personally I thought the history and ideas were more interesting than the events of the last days. 6/10 (probably not for anyone who isn't interested in the era or people)
