This remarkable documentary captures Gore Vidal's professional life which spans more than 50 years of American politics and letters. Featuring candid vérité footage of Vidal in his final years, the film explores his enduring global impact on art, politics, and everything in between. His overview of the current state of the Republic and the health of US democracy is unique and incisive. As an outspoken gay man, who brought explicitly gay novel before the public as early as 1948, he broke new ground.

This documentary is a fascinating and wholly entertaining portrait of the last lion of the age of American liberalism, known for his ability to say what everyone secretly knows and to make it unsettling without worrying about the implications, for himself or his reputation. PG13 - 83 min - 2013
