American: The Bill Hicks Story, JAM (14/05/10)

At last, the true life story of the outlaw comic who tried to save the world.
 
Much more than a comedian, Bill Hicks has become an inspiration to millions. Developing a unique and fearless style that turned convention on it's head, opening up new ways of thinking, Bill's uncompromising approach met with conflict in America and it was instead on the international stage where he found fame. His early death in 1994 has not dimmed his timeless comedy, which still resonates today with ever growing numbers of people around the world.
 
Pushing documentary storytelling in a new direction, American: The Bill Hicks Story uses a stunning new animation technique to bring the tale of one of modern culture’s most iconic heroes to the big screen.
