Alex Gibney (director of (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) turns his attention from corporate scandal to Gonzo journalism with this tribute to the libido-driven, Wild Turkey-swilling writer who never knew the meaning of the word "excess." Comprised largely of never-before-seen archival materials, Gibney's film focuses on the years between 1965 and 1975, when Hunter S. Thompson was truly firing on all cylinders. Rare home movies, audiotapes, and excerpts from unpublished manuscripts combine to paint an affectionate portrait to the wild-eyed father of Gonzo journalism. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    ...you'll like this documentary about the author and the character played by Johnny Depp in that movie. The documentary features wonderful readings of the authors work by Johnny Depp, interviews and archival footage with the author and all the prominent actors in his life, and deals with much of the history of the US during the late 60s and 70s and the authors involvement with making that history or at least reporting it for Rolling Stone magazine.

    An honest look into the life of Hunter S. Thompson. The man was weird, did enough narcotics to keep half the worlds drug lords in the red and went through more Wild Turkey than a bar after AA lets out, but still he was something of a marvel. Interviews, home videos and pictures tell the complete story of Hunter, not just the good times, but the bad times and the even worse times as well. The ending had me in tears

    An in depth look at one of the most polarizing literary figures of the 20th century. A much better documentary than it's counterpart Buy the TIcket, Take the Ride.
