The Rum Diary

This movie is based on Hunter S. Thompson's novel. During the 1950s, journalist Paul Kemp moved from New York to Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, "The San Juan Star". Puerto Rico at that time has a number of American entrepreneurs who are keen to convert the country into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. Sanderson is one of them who is involved in shady property development deals. He recruits Paul to write about his latest unsavoury scheme. Hence, Paul now has to decide whether he is to write as he is hired to do or speak the truth.
