Synopsis

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side") affectionately profiles the father of "gonzo" journalism in this handsomely produced documentary. Thompson's unique voice, which was ultimately silenced by suicide in 2005, is brought to life by Johnny Depp, who reads from his works.
