Along with partner Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper), he decides to lobby a casino for a Native American tribe, stealing millions from them in the process.

His abilities in delving into true murky situations are also reflected in this account of a 2006 Washington D.C. He is probably better known for 'Hearts Of Darkness: A Filmmakers Apocalypse' where he brilliantly documented the trouble that Francis Ford Coppola had in making 'Apocalypse Now'. Throughout his career, director George Hickenlooper would switch from documentaries to feature films.
