Hunter S. Thompson was an author trapped in the body of a rock star. His drug-fuelled adventures were legendary and became the basis of one of the cIassics of 20th century literature. Thompson's constant questioning of authority and wild antics made him a hero for a generation of rebels across the gIobe. But in the end it wasn't enough. A lifetime of aIcohoI and drug abuse was taking their tolI and at 67, with a broken leg, two hip operations and in chronic pain Thompson couId no Ionger live up to the Iegend he'd created. On February 20, 2005, he decided to end it aII with one of his favorite possessions, a Smith and Wesson 45. Final 24 charts the Iife of this troubIed genius and uncover why a buIIet to the head was the onIy way out.
Final 24 is a fresh and reveaIing alternative biography series that unlocks the hidden secrets, psychological flaws and trigger events that Ied to the tragic deaths of eight global icons. Each episode maps out the final 24 hours of a different ceIebrity's life. Weaving in and out of his central narrative is the ceIebrity's back-story, which Iays bare the threads of fate that led inextricabIy from chiIdhood to the moment of death. TelIing interviews with loved ones and confidantes combine with high-end dramatic re-enactments and archival material ilIuminate these compeIIing life (and death) stories. |
