Planet B-Boy on MTV

A while back ago I received a request on facebook to become a Planet B-Boy fan. I looked into Planet B-Boy and decided "Sure, I'll be a fan". I am totally into supporting Asian American Cinema in whatever way I can. I was a little disappointed because I didn't catch it at the Film Festival and was hoping that I'd be able to get it on DVD for my son and I if and when it eventually came out.

Weeks later I found out that it was finally coming to San Francisco and there was no way I was going to miss the chance to watch Asians breakdancing. I begged my 16 year old son to go with me, even though he protested, knowing he's appreciate not only the film, but that in fact, to also acknowledge his Mother is really hip and cool.

Sitting side by side I'd catch my feet tapping and head bouncing to the fast paced beats pulsating from the screen. I'd look over at Jordan to see doing the same, only better.

It's inspiring and I couldn't help but to feel huge waves of pride being Korean and watching my fellow countrymen being acknowledged and praised for their talent and endurance.

I encouraged Jordan, who doesn't seem to know what he wants to do with his life yet, to go back to school and get a crew together and become B-Boys.

Anyway, for those of you who didn't catch it yet here's your chance. MTV will be airing it on your television. It's totally worth DVRing it for your teens too.
