'I Am Paul Walker' will make you see the true value of life with its heart-felt portrayal of the actor and activist

On the fifth anniversary of the tragic passing of Paul Walker, Adrian Buitenhuis' documentary offers an insightful look at the life and legacy of the Fast & Furious star

November 30 will mark the fifth anniversary of the tragic passing of 'The Fast and the Furious' star Paul Walker. In memory of the beloved actor, Virgil Films is releasing 'I Am Paul Walker', a feature-length documentary that explores the life and legacy of the young actor who lost his life in a freak accident during a promotional drive for his charity Reach Out Worldwide.

The documentary, running approximately 30-minutes longer than the version broadcast on television earlier this year, is directed by Adrian Buitenhuis, who also helmed the Heath Ledger documentary 'I Am Heath Ledger'. Featuring interviews with those who were closest to Paul, including 'Fast & Furious' co-star Tyrese Gibson and directosr Rob Cohen and Wayne Kramer, family members Cody Walker, Caleb Walker, Ashlie Walker, Cheryl Walker, and Paul Walker III and other close friends of Paul, the documentary offers an insightful look at the life of cheerful Southern California native and his stuggle to balance a life of a Hollywood celebrity and an earnest family man.

As any well-made biographical documentary, 'I Am Paul Walker' gives us a look at Walker's life that goes beyond the Wikipedia page and the many touching obituaries that followed in the wake of his death. The narrative is driven purely by the heartfelt interviews of Paul's friends and family while the visuals offer us a never-before-seen look at archival footage and candid shots from Paul's life.
