Breathin': The Eddy Zheng Story
Released years after committing a crime, Eddy Zheng's victims insist on his deportation.
Breathin': The Eddy Zheng Story America ReFramed
Eddy Zheng came to America with his family when he was 12 years old. Then at the age of 16, he committed a horrible crime: home invasion and kidnapping. Year after year he hoped for parole, and after almost 20 years in prison, Zheng was released, a model prisoner who wanted to become a community leader. But his victims insisted he should still be deported.
