INMATE #1: THE RISE OF DANNY TREJO DOCUMENTARY

   I just got done watching the documentary dedicated to the Latino actor Danny Trejo. In the documentary they talk about Danny's life which includes his time as a alcohol/drug user and time in prison. How he overcame the diversity and struggle growing up in his home town of Pomona in Southern California to the star we know today. From armed robber to boxing champ at San Quentin to the being on the big screen. And how he gives back to teach and give people hope in there life.

The Only Things That Were Available To Me Were Either Be A Laborer Or Be A Drug Dealer. So I Became An Armed Robber. It Was A Lot Simpler.

Danny Trejo saw the path he was on and where it was headed and made the changes he need to become the man he is today. But he did not forget where he came from and tries to help not only the neighborhood that he grew up in, but people in general to be better. Telling his life experiences to people in prisons, high schools, troubled youth, and people struggling with substance abuse. His goal is to help as many people as he can, telling people to learn through his mistakes. 

Never miss a moment!I would rather shoot for the moon and miss than for the gutter and make it!-Danny Trejo

   I fully enjoyed this documentary! Danny Trejo is someone I have followed on the movie screen for a long time. Every time I see that he is going to be in a movie, I get excited. He is one of my favorite actors. He is a big and hero not only in the Latino community, but to anyone that is struggling in life. He proves that you can over come with faith and a goal. Also anyone who suffers from alcohol and drug abuse can rise above it. I highly suggest watching this documentary that can be found on Amazon Prime for $5.99.
