In his early years in San Francisco, Hunter S. Thompson cut his teeth as a young journalist, covering Berkeley's radical left, the “Hashburry” hippies, and the infamous Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
The documentary highlights Thompson's early attraction for counter-culture, his ability to perceive important cultural shifts and how he ultimately became a culture unto himself.
