The documentary 'Inmate #1 : The Rise Of Danny Trejo' (2019) is co-produced by actor Danny Trejo, so it's largely a compilation of recollections from his own life, some of which you might have heard in previous interviews he's given. It's great for the uninitiated though as it offers a glimpse into a truly extraordinary life, while fans of Trejo can simply sit back and enjoy quality time spent.
Danny Trejo
Interview Excerpt : "Doing Heat"
I liked that this documentary works as a cautionary tale against prison life. As in, we should probably all try and stay out of the clink if we can help it. If you get set up like Sly Stallone in 'Lock Up' then there's not much you can do, except take some valuable real-life lessons from Mr. Trejo; use the time to educate yourself, work out daily, take any pre-emptive strike necessary and find God.
'Word Up!'

"I like Westerns. One of my favorites is The Searchers, with John Wayne. And Once Upon a Time in the West, with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda and Jason Robards. I love Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood.
I acted with Charles Bronson. We did Death Wish 4 together. And then we became pretty good friends. He called me to do another one called Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects. But then he pretty much cut me out of it. You just get a quick glimpse of me in a jail cell. But I got paid, so it’s okay. As for Clint Eastwood, I actually met him when I was about 13 years old. My dad used to work in his building in California, back when [Eastwood] was playing Rowdy Yates on Rawhide. He used to live on Vineland and Ventura, and my dad worked in his building. And my dad had built a bar in our house, so he invited Clint Eastwood over for a drink. He and a couple of his friends came over one day. Even back then, you could tell this guy was really something. He had an unbelievable presence."
