Synopsis

No twentieth-century figure has had a more profound effect on the worlds of literature, film, politics, historical debate, and the culture wars than Gore Vidal. Anchored by one-on-one interviews with the man himself, Nicholas Wrathall’s documentary is a portrait of the last lion of the age of American liberalism.
