Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/gonzo/trailer/

From Oscar-wining director Alex Gibney and producer Graydon Carter comes 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. Narrated by Johnny Depp.

Saw it, got drunk, Loved it...If you a fan of thompson and/or fear and loathing, go see it. If you already a thompsom expert and know everything about every minute of his life, skip it, there is nothing new for you.
