Good documentary on a seemingly wonderful cable channel in LA during the 1980s, where one man programmed and ran it for the most part. He seems akin to a lot of genius, demon-driven auteurs from Hollywood who wouldn't let money ruin him - but in the end ruined himself and another person through murder and suicide. A very inspirational tale containing some really interesting interview-snippets.
