Summary
"Breakfast With Hunter" is a feature length documentary starring the infamous outlaw journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Edited by director Wayne Ewing from cinema verite film and digital video that he shot over many years on the road with Dr. Thompson, "Breakfast With Hunter" follows several story lines in the trials (literally) and triumphs of this cultural icon who created his own genre of writing - Gonzo journalism - and changed the nature of American journalism forever. The film chronicles Dr. Thompson's successful attempt to avoid being placed in the system - jail and/or rehabilitation - by rogue Aspen City cops who conspired to bust him for drunken driving on the eve of an important local election. This political story interweaves with his struggle to bring his book "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas" to a proper life as a feature film starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro.
