1970 documentary about Hunter S. Thompson's run for mayor of Aspen

Screen Shot 2016-02-19 at 11.09.19 AM

Jesse Walker says: "In 1970, Hunter Thompson ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, on a Freak Power ticket, promising to sod the streets, put dishonest drug dealers in stocks, and change Aspen's name to "Fat City." His campaign caught the attention of the British TV show This Week, which sent a crew to make a documentary about it."
