Synopsis

Featuring footage never before seen, AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY is a frank documentary that tells the story of one of the most venerated comedians of the 20th century.

Photo-animated and uniquely narrated by Hicks' closest friends and family members, Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas's highly personal film is a rare tribute to a truly legendary stand-up comic who, at just 32 years old, lost his long battle against pancreatic cancer.

AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY arrives after three years in the making and brings the journey of this one-off cultural architect full circle.
