It is a movie called Desperate Man Blues and tells the story of renowned 78 collector Joe Bussard. His library of 25,000+ rare sides-- blues, gospel, folk, and more-- forms an essential archive of American music from the 1920s and 30s. The film is available to purchase at the Dust-to-Digital store.

Here's a 10-year-old article on Bussard I found years ago: http://web.archive.org/web/20070930231256/http://www.bluesworld.com/Bussard.html
The author is interviewed in the documentary film.
