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

Directed by Alex Gibney and narrated by Johnny Depp, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson hit art-house theaters in July 2008. A 44-page booklet packed with unseen photos joins the 5 CDs in this audio companion to the film; the tenaciously irreverent journalist who was a personal hero to so many in America is heard here on the countless tapes he made on his travels. You'll join the good Doctor on his year-long ride with the Hell's Angels; on the adventures that inspired Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ; on his 1975 trip to Vietnam right before the fall of Saigon (he viewed the last days of combat in his Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian T-shirt, beer can in hand); as he makes notes about novel ideas and never-written pieces, and more!
