About Ron Whitehead
Outlaw Poet is the story of a coal miner's son on a rural farm of western Kentucky and his struggles with identity, the law, and his own addictions to become a world renowned beat generation poet, credited with reigniting the fires of Kerouac, Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti for the modern generation.
Filmed for over 9 years, this documentary follows the life and times of Ron Whitehead and is as much a story of making the documentary as it is about the man himself. Currently in post production the film is expected to hit festivals in Spring of 2020.
