And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003)

Well, they say (and by "they" I mean IMDb & the film itself) that the film's pretty accurate. Basically: Pancho Villa, leader of Mexican revolutionaries, made a financial agreement to have some battle footage shot and cut into a film by an American company. When that effort did no business, the film company went down to Villa again, with a tighter contract this time, stipulating when battles could be launched (best light, obviously), that battles be restaged if necessary, and that dramatizations of key portions of Villa's life be shot. Incredible.

I was certainly involved in the sheer audacity of what was going on, but as a film it felt a little dry. Took me a few days to finish it.
