This documentary from one of the filmmakers behind the Oscar-nominated doc, The Weather Underground, looks at Rollen Frederick Stewart, otherwise known as "The Rainbow Man," who rose to strange notoriety in the 1970's by appearing at televised sporting events donned in a multicolor afro wig and holding a sign reading John 3:16. Director Sam Green offers a resonant look at Stewart's life, which eventually found him dissolved into a media obsessive, living in his car, desperately studying TV Guides for a chance in the spotlight.
