Description

"RainbowChaser" is a gripping tale of addiction, integration, and freedom. The son of proud Filipino immigrants, Chaser ventures astray distributing cocaine and abandoning old world customs. Drugs give him power over prejudice and second-class citizenship. His grandiose lifestyle led him to incarceration in Hawaii. He hallucinates haunting comatose dreams in the darkness of solitary confinement, rummaging for answers to his addiction and fractured identity. Chaser relives powerful ethnic portrayals of men, women, and children bound in farm labor. He witnessed Cesar Chavez and Larry Itliong inspire families to become powerful forces for human rights.
Chaser was sentenced to one year, miraculously escaping 150 years in three states. His resilience guided him to his unlikely redemption found leading innovative programs for the homeless, mentally ill, PTSD Veterans, and the disabled to their vocational dreams. He empowered gangs with tools of recovery, offering a reconstruction of his past destructions. This inspiring true story is told with astonishing humor and shares a powerful message through historical, cultural, and personal events of how hope can triumph over devastating circumstances.
