74 min - 2007 - USA - English - Color
Free Lisl: Fear & Loathing in Denver explores the most significant achievement
of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's last years - the freeing of Lisl Auman who was
sentenced to life without parole at the age of 21 for the murder of a
Denver police officer.
After receiving a letter from prisoner Lisl in 2001, Hunter enlisted the support
of the nation's top criminal defense lawyers, held a rally on the steps of the
Colorado State Capitol, and co-wrote an article for Vanity Fair subtitled
"Lynching in Denver" - all in an attempt to free Lisl from life in prison.
