Trailer for BREATHIN': THE EDDY ZHENG STORY

Please visit: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1218354395/breathin-the-eddy-zheng-story

After serving over 20 years behind bars for a robbery he committed at age 16, Chinese American community leader Eddy Zheng now faces deportation to China, a huge loss to the Bay Area community. Released from prison in 2007, Eddy has dedicated his life to preventing youth violence and delinquency through his work at the Community Youth Center, Community Response Network, and many other SF Bay Area programs and organizations.

BREATHIN': THE EDDY ZHENG STORY is a documentary about one of the most visible Asian American leaders to emerge from the prison system. Providing a complex and honest portrayal of its subject, the film will highlight a critical human rights issue facing the U.S. today: the alarming increase of Asian immigrants and refugees being incarcerated and deported.

this looks awesome, but look:

a four-minute trailer is NOT a teaser trailer. that's just a trailer, straight-up. a long-ass trailer. haha
