Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain will center around the uncommon life of the late storyteller, explorer, and chef, Anthony Bourdain, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 61. This unflinching look at Bourdain reverberates with his presence, in his own voice and in the way he indelibly impacted the world around him.

Before his untimely death, the renowned chef gained recognition for hosting a number of popular food and travel shows, including Food Network’s A Cook’s Tour; Travel Channel’s Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, and The Layover; and CNN’s Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. He was also known for his best-selling books such as Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, The Nasty Bits, and No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach.
