Hunter S. Thompson Explained In Gonzo Movie

If you’ve read or watched Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, then you know the legend of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the innovative journalist whose wild drug-fueled adventures became just as famous as his manic, “gonzo”-style observations. But who was the real man behind the ether? Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney’s new documentary Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson strives to profile the late writer like never before.
Narrated by HST’s close friend Johnny Depp, the film uses reenactments of his life, scenes from his movies and interviews with friends like President Jimmy Carter and Hell’s Angels bigwig Sonny Barger to unravel his outrageous life. The film hits theaters on July 4, so get familiar with the trailer below.
That’s when the drugs took hold.
