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

Currently Playing in Theaters Nationwide - Check your local listings.

From Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney comes GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON, the definitive biography of the man who Tom Wolfe called "the century's greatest comic writer." Fueled by a raging libido, Wild Turkey and superhuman doses of drugs, Thompson was a true "free lance": goring sacred cows with impunity, hilarity and a steel-eyed conviction for writing wrongs. Focusing on the good doctor's heyday – from 1965 to 1975 – the film is entirely narrated by the words of Thompson himself – from his letters, articles, and books and is read – on camera and off – by Johnny Depp. A Jigsaw Production.

Taxi to the Dark Side
HBO Premiere and DVD Release: Sept. 30th, 2008

Winner of the Oscar for documentary feature, TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE is a gripping investigation into the reckless abuse of power by the Bush Administration. A documentary murder mystery that examines the death of an Afghan taxi driver at Bagram Air Base, the film exposes a worldwide policy of detention and interrogation that condones torture and the abrogation of human rights. This disturbing and often brutal film is the most incisive examination to date of the Bush Administration’s willingness, in its prosecution of the “war on terror,” to undermine the essence of the rule of law. The film asks and answers a key question: what happens when a few men use the wartime powers of the executive to undermine the very principles on which the United States was founded? A Jigsaw Production.
