Documentary

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1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.

VIBE

A wild, drug-fueled ride through the mind of a literary legend. Expect gonzo journalism at its finest, with a chaotic energy that's both hilarious and unsettling. It's a deep dive into a life lived on the edge, unfiltered and unapologetic.
