THIS WEEK ON THE VIKING YOUTH POWER HOUR...
Hunter S. Thompson Biographer Wayne Ewing
This week the Viking Youth talk to documentary film maker Wayne Ewing
about his films and friendship with the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
Wayne has made 2 feature length films about the good doctor,
"Breakfast with Hunter" - an award winning piece of verite which chronicled
Thompson in many of his exploits of the last 20 years of his life - and, more recently,
"When I Die" an hour long journaling of the
memorialization of Dr. Thompson, from conception to the infamous send off of last centuries most influential American writer.
Pour yourself
a glass of Chivas and turn the fire a little higher for this one, you're not bound to hear a collection of stories and insights
this good and this personal again any time soon.
If you're in Chicago please make a point of attending the screening of Wayne's most recent project
"Benched: The Corporate Take Over of the Judiciary" playing at the
Gene Siskel Film Center on Sunday January 29th at 3:30pm and Monday January
30th at 8:15pm. Come out and support a great film and learn how Illinois politics is up for sale to the highest bidder.
And while you're there make sure you come up and say "hi" to the Vikings.
