2. Gore Vidal: United States of Amnesia
Site Score: 11, IMDb Score: 9 Overall Score: 20
Directed by Nicholas D. Wrathall
Year: 2013
Constantly torn apart between his two passions, politics, and writing, Gore Vidal remained one of the fiercest critics of 20th century America and its departure from the path Founding Fathers had in mind. Described as the last lion of American Liberalism, Vidal fought against the right wing turn America has taken and warned of the consequences of its imperialistic politics. The movie, featuring several interviews, is his final homage.
