Gibney, de la mano de un narrador de excepción, el actor Johnny Depp, nos invita a un extraordinario viaje a la extraña y salvaje vida del Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, creador del periodismo Gonzo y autor de la célebre “Miedo y Asco en Las Vegas”. Un documental brutalmente entretenido que retrata los momentos más decisivos en la vida de Thompson, desde su rebelde juventud, sus primeros trabajos como periodista, la turbulenta relación que le unió a los Ángeles del Infierno, su infructuosa candidatura a Sheriff de Aspen o su notoria implicación en la campaña presidencial de 1972. Todo ello narrado por las personas más importantes en la vida de ese rebelde con causa que fue Hunter Stockton Thompson.

ONE BRIGHT SHINING MOMENT retraces George McGovern's bold presidential campaign of 1972 - a grassroots campaign that fought for peace and justice, and positioned ideas and people first. But what is remembered today as being the ultimate political defeat of the American Century may also have been its high watermark. The film poses this central question: what does the crushing electoral defeat of a man so well respected for his decency and intellect say about the electoral process, the American government, and more importantly, what does it say about the forces at work on the American people- then and now? Featuring interviews with the candidate himself, supporters and activists like Gore Vidal, Gloria Steinem, Warren Beatty, Howard Zinn, and music from Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Donovan, and Elvis Costello.
