This article reviews *Radical Wolfe*, a documentary that chronicles the career of journalist and author Tom Wolfe through interviews, archival footage, and creative visuals. The film highlights Wolfe’s contributions to American literary and media culture, particularly his role in pioneering the "new journalism" movement of the 1960s, while respecting his lifelong desire for privacy. It features insights from notable figures such as Michael Lewis and Wolfe’s daughter, Alexandra Wolfe, and emphasizes Wolfe’s distinctive public persona, including his iconic white suit as a form of personal branding.
