ahaha, I think I need to see this.
Id like to see Damian interviewed by 5b4Alex Jonesit sounds like one of the things that Alex Jones would do.
Why is it that when I Google this movie, most of the sites that come up are Dutch?

I think it took more guts to portray himself as Roman Polanski. Because, as you watch you, you think: Whoah, maybe Chapa really IS like Roman Polanski The rape and abuse of actresses and the fleeing to Europe and all that hit a bit too close to home, so Chapa in a way said what everybody was thinking by inadvertently comparing his situation to Polanskis.
With one big difference: Chapa cant make movies anywhere near as good as Polanski. So, it was like Chapa thought hed embrace the negative rumors about him and also trick you to think that there was this awesome genius bound up with the bad stuff, too, haha

Well I haven't seen that movie yet hahaha so in a way it's ironic with him portraying Polanski. I got the movies dirt cheap and look where it brought me, these boards are funny to bad allot is deleted

The funniest thing about Chapa is how many bridges he burnsand then his lame attempts to repair them, or else just move on to others.
I think its hilarious that Chapa moved from making these glorify Mexican-American vato culture movies to this whole biopicstarring ME! genre: Polanski, Bobby Fischer, Brando The sheer audacity of Chapa trying to play the greatest actor, Brando it even topped his audacity in suggesting he was anything like Polanski as a director. And he tries to promote his other movies WITHIN these moviesits too funny. Like, in Bobby Fischer hell have a DVD copy of the Polanski movie sitting there in the scene.
Oh, and I love how he calls them Unauthorized as if being unauthorized means they will be more real/honest, with more grit/truth, when the reality is that YES, of course they are unauthorized because Chapa does not have enough pull to get official permission!

Hey guys,
I've done research about this docu. It turns out that much of Chapa's movies where distributed by a dutch company called BBI, they are also the production company for I.R.A. and Love, Hate and Security. Have a look at their IMDb page.

My guess is that Chapa has this longterm business-relationship with BBI and made the docu a special
"the Netherlands only"
project. This Dutch magazine article comfirms that

look for JK-docu, Illuminati-docu on the right side.
From what I have read in the article it turns out that in 2002 BBI was infamous for distributing junk movies on DVD and those were sold for junk prices about 5; the piece (This was in the heyday of DVD of course). I also read that they are trying to get rid that image now hahaha.
Chapa's movies are to this day still distributed and sometimes produced by that company, plus Germany is a neighbor-country too The Netherland.
