American: The Story of Bill Hicks

documentary

Very good telling of the story of the young guy from Texas who started as a shock comic, moved through alcoholism and emerged clean as a brilliant commentator with an insightful, biting take on contemporary life.

Unfortunately he died at 32 of cancer so he and we were deprived of his mature years of social commentary a la George Carlin. Too bad. He was a unique voice.
