In this acclaimed documentary narrated by Nick Nolte, experience the true story of the American master whose gonzo reportage defined an era while his depraved appetites forged a legend. Through archival footage and revealing interviews with family, friends, partners in crime and Thompson himself, meet the man - and the myth - who created his own unforgettable world of fear, loathing, journalistic genius, shotgun golf and a cannon-fired funeral to live on as one of the most extraordinary literary icons of all time.
