I Am Sam Kinison

I Am Sam Kinison is a feature-length documentary exploring the life and legacy of shock comic Sam Kinison, a former Pentecostal preacher turned stand-up comic who repurposed his pulpit-honed chops to the brazen rock ’n’ roll world of MTV-era comedy. Following a steep trajectory to fame, excess, despair and near-redemption, Sam died suddenly after he was struck by a drunk driver in 1992.
