    Synopsis

    'Born to Be Wild' made the band Steppenwolf famous overnight and around the world. The song, synonymous with the cult film EASY RIDER, became the anthem of a generation. What’s less well-known is that singer John Kay and bassist Nick St. Nicholas come from Germany. This documentary traces their journey from their war-ravaged homeland to the streets of Toronto to the pinnacle of the music world. [41 FILMFEST MÜNCHEN]
