SAN DIEGO– Screening of THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BROWN BUFFALO at the San Diego Latino Film Festival

SAN DIEGO–THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BROWN BUFFALO is a fresh and genre-defying film about the life of radical Chicano lawyer, author and countercultural icon, Oscar Zeta Acosta — the basis for the character Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, written by his friend, legendary journalist-provocateur Hunter S. Thompson. The author of two groundbreaking autobiographical novels, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BROWN BUFFALO and THE REVOLT OF THE COCKROACH PEOPLE. Acosta’s powerful literary voice, brash courtroom style and notorious revolutionary antics made him a revered figure within the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 70s and offered one of the most brazen assaults on the status quo and white supremacy seen at the time.
