American: The Bill Hicks Story
The life and humor of stand-up iconoclast Bill Hicks is saluted in this documentary. Interviews with family and friends are mixed with "photo-animated" sequences featuring his raw and uncensored comic observations, where no topic was off-limits. Hicks' battles with alcohol and drugs, as well as the cancer that claimed him at 32 in 1994, are also chronicled.
