Robert Allen Zimmerman out of Minneapolis. Informed and influenced by Woody Guthrie, he travelled east, hit the city, and the rest, as they say, is history. But while the now re-named Bob Dylan would of course compose and perform the songs around which virtually the entire revival was based, and epitomise the scene like no other, this young man was no finger-in-the-ear traditionalist. As quickly as he became embroiled in, and subsequently known as the face of, New American Folk, he was jumping ship and moving swiftly on. This film tells the story of Dylan''s entry into and departure from the US Folk Revival, and features new interviews with many of the big players from the scene as it unfolded, as well as an abundance of timely footage, rare performances, archive media and numerous other features, which all at once make for the finest programme yet to emerge on this period of Bob Dylan''s career.
