ZANI's Video of The Week - Tripping (1999 Ken Kesey / Merry Pranksters documentary)

Broadcast by Channel 4 in August 1999 in anticipation of Ken Kesey's trip to the UK for the total eclipse,

this is a well-constructed documentary look at Ken Kesey, The Merry Pranksters, the bus trip, the Acid Tests, and all the other fun they got up to. It features lots of great archive footage; contemporary (the late 90s) footage filmed at Kesey's home and on the road with the latest bus; and interviews with the relevant (Hunter S. Thompson, subtitled!) and the curious (Malcolm McLaren and Fatboy Slim?).

About Us

ZANI was conceived in late 2008 and the fan base gradually grew by word of mouth. Key contributors came from those of the music, film and fashion industry and the voice of ZANI grew louder. So, when in 2013 investor, contributor and fan of ZANI Alan McGee* offered his support to help restyle and relaunch the site it was inevitable that traffic would increase dramatically and continues to grow. *Alan McGee co-founder of Creation Records and new label 359 Music..
