Dragon Boys




Dragon Boys is a 2 part mini series/movie from Canada.

I don't rmb if i actually blogged about this before, but my records didn't pull anything up so...ya i'm here to inform y'all (again).

This is a production made in Vancouver, Richmond and Langly, BC. It involves an international cast as well. This series discuss's the issues of the Asian-community in Canada.

Organized crime in canada has grown within the chinese community over the years so this series takes people in deeper on what asians go through in canada. On top of that, you see how triads in canada run their shit, which is the true insight of the film.

I love the flick cuz it really portrays what the asian's go through, if not do. Things over in canada can seem so bright and prosperous but one wrong move or decision can mean a whole other story. Trust me when i say, nothing in this world is great! i've seen it, been there and done it!

It reminded me a bit of my past and what i went through as a teen. 2 characters in the film really bring myself back, to when i was running around on the streets of Toronto. These triad stories may seem a tad extreme, but believe me, they can and will happen.

CBC aired this show back in december or so and has made lots of controversy and took people by storm. If you do want to watch this, i have the vcd, so let me know.

It was a great series! a must watch! it's about 4 hrs long and i heard their will be a sequel to it, which i can't wait!
