“The Hitch” – Christopher Hitchens | (88 min; 2014; English)
Director: Kristoffer Seland Hellesmark
An independent documentary profiling the controversial author and literary critic Christopher Hitchens. It features a selection of fascinating clips, speeches and thoughts of Hitchens.
Director Kristoffer Seland Hellesmark was one day searching for a documentary on Hitchens but was unable to find one. He subsequently decided to make his own, resulting in an 88-minute film composed of clips from Hitchen’s interviews and talks, serving as a tribute to one of the greatest thinkers - perhaps the most articulate and contrarian intellectual of his generation.
