Baadasssss! (2004)

Fascinating look at one man's true-life quest to get a movie made when no one else was too interested in his vision.  Sacrificing his reputation, health, financial security and family, Melvin Van Peebles hustled 'til his dream was a reality and it's quite a ride.

The movie couldn't help but lag at times and it relied a bit too often on hallucinatory images, but really worth a look.
