“No No: A Dockumentary” delves into the life of baseball icon Dock Ellis, renowned not just for his LSD-fueled no-hitter but also as a fervent advocate for racial equality during a tumultuous period in professional baseball. Director Jeff Radice crafts this biographical tale with flair, using a riveting ’70s soundtrack, animation, and inventive photography to highlight both Ellis’s audacious feats and his personal battles with addiction.

The documentary transcends the boundaries of a typical sports biography. While Ellis’s audacious no-hitter stands as a key moment, the film ensures he is remembered more profoundly: as a fearless challenger of societal norms, a compassionate supporter of fellow addicts, and a multifaceted individual navigating the challenges of fame and personal demons.
