Bob Dylan is a household name - as much a legend as a real person. This docudrama tells the story of his search for his place and, ultimately, his fame. Dylan goes to New York in 1961 to meet his dying hero, Woody Guthrie, and as a result, Pete Seeger sees something in him. Over the next five years, Seeger will help shape him. However, his most significant influence will be Sylvie Russo (A fictionalized version of Suze Rotolo), who becomes his muse and guides his music.
