context_section_description: Filmmaker Joe Gallo has produced a documentary on Mojo titled "The Magic Behind the Mojo"   According to Gallo, "I discovered his music searching for a soundtrack for 10 'Soldier Story' mini-documentaries created to engage support of the creation of a National Museum of the US Army. These stories of Army combat veterans were impactful and emotional and Mojo's composition 'Lights on the Bayou', a beautiful and haunting ballad in the Cajun style, was the perfect fit. This introduced me to Mojo and the discovery that there is more to his music and more to the man than his cajun accordion. This documentary looks into the making of a man who gives something everyday, lives life to the fullest, and all his friends are friends for life."  When asked in a CBS "Great Day Washington"  CBS television show interview at what point in the filming of the first project Gallo realized that Mr. Mojo is a movie in himself, Gallo said "Probably sometime during the first day of filming". The Mojo documentary project took approximately 2 years and was completed in the summer of 2018. It won various film festival awards. 
  The documentary was released at the  first public screening November 13, 2018 at the USO Warrior and Family Center at Ft. Belvoir, VA, the future site of the National Museum of the US Army slated for opening in 2019.
  Gallo's ten mini-documentaries are archived at the Army Historical Foundation.
