Over the course of Hunter S. Thompson’s life he was branded a bum, a vandal, a thief, a liar, an addict, a freak, and a psychopath. Some of which can be true. Yet even when compared to the most significant figures of the 20th century, his legacy retains a force. The American writer, the American iconoclast, the American hedonist - however the people choose to view him, Thompson can remain the high-water mark for social commentators worldwide, and a champion of individual liberties. This seeks to be his story, the story of a troubled kid from Louisville who went on to become an international icon. A story that aims to plumb the darkest depths of American society and charts.
