Documentary

A portrait of the late journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

From Oscar-wining director Alex Gibney and producer Graydon Carter comes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson's life-his intense and ill fated relationship with the Hell's Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Narrated by Johnny Depp.

Release Date: July 4th, 2008 (limited)

  • @kskillerscream, @russiantoughguy : There will be nobody else like him! It was his life and it seemed amazing to a point! But why do what someone has all ready done!? Find you're own path to genius! But Kudos to Hunter for showing us, that living a life less ordinary is ours for the making!!!

    "Oh god!! Did you eat all this acid!??"

  • great documentary on a great writer/reporter

  • The useless banterings of a rhetorician hard at work, or valuable assets to a society that begs for wordsmithing? What, indeed, do we believe to be the true definition of the American Dream? Perhaps I have the answers, perhaps not. Either way, this topic is opened for discussion in my new video.

  • What I appreciate about Hunter's personality is that he was opinionated but open minded. He couldn't have disagreed more with Pat Buchanan but defended his friendship with him to others. That type of decency in disagreement is fading fast.

  • @kskillerscream I completely agree. I'm trying to be more like him in hopes that when I grow up I will be the next Hunter S. Thompson.

  • @phomiffy song is by Creedence Clearwater Revival -long as i can see the light

  • @daisyroots questionable events? the man killed himself thats it

  • Best documentary about the greatest writer of all time.

  • whats the name of the song at the end??

  • fuckin real life spider jerusalem!!
