Hunter S. Thompson's campaign video for Sheriff of Piktin County, Colorado in 1970.
Taken from:
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
Fueled by a raging libido, Wild Turkey, and superhuman doses of drugs, Thompson was a true "free lance, " goring sacred cows with impunity, hilarity, and a steel-eyed conviction for writing wrongs. Focusing on the good doctor's heyday, 1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.
"Hunter represents something wholly alien to the other candidates: ideas...and a sympathy toward the young, generous, grass-oriented society, which is making the only serious effort to face the technological nightmare we've created"
