Gabriele Muccino on The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is out this week on DVD and tells the remarkable true life tale of Chris Gardner.

He was a salesman in San Francisco during the early 80s and battled through numerous personal and financial hardships as he tried to become a stockbroker.

Will Smith was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Gardner in the lead role and was instrumental in hiring Italian director Gabriele Muccino.
