Fulton and Pepe's 2000 documentary captures Terry Gilliam's attempt to get The Man Who Killed Don Quixote off the ground. Back injuries, freakish storms, and more zoom in to sabotage the project.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gilliam kept the 'Quixote' curse alive so long that Johnny Depp aged out and was replaced by Adam Driver in the eventual 2018 version.
This basically invented the 'disaster documentary' subgenre—without it, we don't get 'Hearts of Darkness' comparisons for every troubled shoot.
