Are you talking about Garbage Warrior? It's a biographical documentary about Michael Reynolds, who developed the idea of building earth ships.




I've recently watched (and really enjoyed) Beautiful Losers and Infamy. Beautiful Losers is a charming profile of a particular group of artists, kind of bittersweet but outlining the general career arc of a successful group of friends.

Infamy is a quick look at half a dozen different graffiti artists & their families, lives, etc. Consequences of the choices they've made, as well as the circumstances that led to those choices. Pretty great, low on the BS -- and what BS there is comes straight from the mouth of babes, as it were.
