Dragon Boys "Shoot for the Truth"

Great article in the Jan 4th issue of Georgia Straight (Vancouver), by Craig Takeuchi.

"Two Chinese seniors are bludgeoned to death in a violent suburban home invasion; a Caucasian drug dealer is hacked up by an Asian gang; a Chinese Canadian teenager goes missing under suspicious circumstances. Are these news headlines? A Hollywood movie? While they could be either, these scenarios are from a new CBC TV miniseries called Dragon Boys (www.dragonboys.ca/). The two-part drama about Asian organized crime in the Lower Mainland, which airs Sunday and Monday (January 7 and 8 at 8 p.m.), follows multiple story lines and covers everything from Triads to seedy massage parlours and employs multilingual dialogue (English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Khmer, the language of Cambodia)."
