Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side") affectionately profiles the father of "gonzo" journalism in this handsomely produced documentary. From his writings on the Hell's Angels and the 1972 presidential campaign to his enduring classic, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Hunter Thompson was the sardonic, sometimes angry, often controversial voice of a generation, one that was ultimately silenced by suicide in 2005.
