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

2008Rated6.92h 0mDocumentary

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1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.

Starring: Hunter S. Thompson, Johnny Depp, Sonny Barger
