The father of gonzo journalism and a '60s counterculture icon, Hunter S. Thompson revolutionized American prose with his drug-fueled, first-person narrative style. His maverick ways allowed him to blend reality and fiction, creating satirical stories that were actually much closer to the truth than other reporters' work. Gonzo highlights Thompson's most prolific period, weaving interviews with Sonny Barger of the Hell's Angels and Jimmy Carter, among others, together with clips from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Where the Buffalo Roam. It's a riveting picture of a true American iconoclast.
