Gore Vidal

Documentary looking back at televised debates in the US between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions of 1968.

Unafraid to voice his opinions, intellectual and liberal icon Gore Vidal delivers a deconstruction of America's current political state in this documentary memorial. Uses interviews and archive footage to display and dramatise the late writer's concerns with modern American democracy.

Convinced he'll graduate with honors because of his thesis paper, a stuffy Harvard student finds his paper being held hostage by a homeless man, who might be the guy to school the young man in life.
