This
video is an Angola 3 News interview with filmmaker Ben
Wang focuses largely on the book by and about Asian American
prisoners that he co-edited with Chinese American community
leader Eddy
Zheng, published in 2007 and the issues presented
in the book.
Below is the video trailer from the latest
film by Ben Wang - Breathin': The Eddy Zheng Story. The film’s
website
explains that “after serving over 20 years behind bars
for a robbery he committed at age 16, 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.”
