GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON

He was an asshole, but a damn good author, is how one of his contemporaries describes Hunter S. Thompson. The legendary inventor of Gonzo journalism – a mixture of facts, fiction, and a dash of madness – was a man of many contradictions: a patriot and an anarchist, a gun nut and an anti-war activist, a cynic and a hippie. Oscar winner Alex Gibney shows the »immoral moralist« who chose to end his life in 2005 to be a brilliant analyst of American politics and society – and, toward the end of his life, also a captive of his own legend.
