Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride.

Breakfast with Hunter is a documentary portrait of the legendary outlaw journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Director Wayne Ewing compiled this film from cinema verité footage and digital video shot over years traveling alongside Thompson, capturing the writer's volatile life both in and out of the courtroom. The film traces Thompson's evolution as the architect of Gonzo journalism, a fearless narrative style that blended reportage with raw personal voice. It documents his legal battles, creative triumphs, and the contradictions that defined a cultural icon who refused to play by conventional rules. Through intimate access and candid moments, Breakfast with Hunter reveals the man behind the myth—brilliant, reckless, and utterly uncompromising.
