L'écrivain, journaliste américain Hunter S. Thompson, génial fauteur de troubles, précieux témoin d'une époque unique, sorte de poète, voire de prophète halluciné, amoureux désespéré d'une Amérique qui n'a cessé de le tromper, appartient à cette race de phénomènes typiquement «sixties» dont on ne retient généralement que les frasques. Ayant très jeune pris conscience que son appartenance à la classe moyenne inférieure le privait de privilèges accordés à ses amis mieux nantis, le jeune homme a développé un goût extrême pour la provocation. Celle-ci est devenue le carburant principal de son métier de journaliste. Chacune de ses investigations ont été plutôt des immersions, donnant naissance à des enquêtes bourrées d'anecdotes,, d'expériences souvent à la limite de la légalité.

This movie depicts Frantz Fanon's life. A psychiatrist from Martinique, he became a spokesman for the anti-colonialist struggle. In 1952, Frantz Fanon wrote Black Skin, White Masks, an analysis of racism and the ways in which its victims internalize it. In the 50s, he aided the rebels of the Algerian anti-colonial war. Expelled from Algeria in 1956, he moved to Tunis, Tunisia, where he wrote for the rebel newspaper El Moudjahid, founded one of Africa's first psychiatric clinics and wrote several books on decolonization. He died from leukemia in Washington, D.C., at the age of 36.
