Invaluable, ultimate biography of the great rebel American culture figure, the indomitable author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The Hell’s Angels, the Foreman and Ali African match and the funeral where Johnny Depp lit the cannon that fired Thompson’s ashes into space are just a few of the milestones of this wonderful documentary, a success in Sundance 2008. Depp, who is also the narrator, is currently filming The rum diary, based in a Thompson novel.

One of the best American documentary filmmakers, begins his career in 1980. Some of his films are: Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005, nominated for an Oscar) and Taxi to the dark side (2007), Oscar for Best Documentary. He is currently filming his new movie, with a very significant title: Freakonomics.

A magnificent documentary about the development, shooting and influence of George A. Romero’s legendary master piece Dawn of the dead.
