Almost everyone who has watched sports in the last 20 years has seen the crude signs that read "John 3:16" or remembers that kooky guy in the rainbow colored Afro-wig. That guy is Washington native Rollen Stewart, a media-hound obsessed with getting free airtime for himself and his religious message. Here's the clincher, "Rock-N-Rollen" is serving three life sentences for holding a maid at gunpoint and demanding a three-hour press conference.

Part King of Comedy, part Taxi Driver, Rollen's sordid tale is compelling to those of us raised with a TV as a baby sitter. The rise and fall of this one-man media virus is attributed to a steady diet of the alienation and meaningless that is television.

The Rainbow Man / John 3:16 premiered at Sundance and has gone on to win the "Best Documentary" award at both the New York and Chicago Underground Film Festivals.

Sam Green will be at 911 to discuss the making of his award winning film.
