From Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney comes
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr Hunter S. Thompson, 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.
Gibney uses intimate, never-before-seen home videos, interviews with friends, enemies and lovers, and clips from films adapted from Thompson's material to document his turbulent life.
Narrated by Johnny Depp, it will be released in the States on July 4. No release date has been set for Australia yet.
