Day 346 - King of Chinatown (Documentary)

 

"

King of Chinatown takes an in-depth look at the culture of video games, an industry that has evolved into a worldwide, multi-billion dollar phenomenon. Filmmaker Calvin Theobald follows Justin Wong, a video-game prodigy sharpening his skills as he battles challengers in the cutthroat competitive world of Street Fighter IV. But as Justin fights his way through the ranks, he finds himself up against a formidable off-screen challenge -- his allegiance to The Empire, a video-gaming collective run by the charismatic and potentially destructive leader TriForce. Culminating in an epic battle at EVO, the largest video-gaming competition in the world, King of Chinatown shows us the entertaining on-the-ground trials of a Street Fighter IV sensation"

As a documentary goes this one is very boring and not well done. I felt like Justin Wong really didn't want to do the documentary and it was more about publicity. The footage used wasn't used that well and there wasn't a whole lot. Skip this documentary if you come upon it.
