Paul Walker is a widely known name in Hollywood for his amazing work in the Fast and the Furious franchise. He passed away in 2015 in a car accident during an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide. The car, driven by Roger Rodas, crashed into a concrete lamp post and two trees, and then caught on fire. Both men died in the accident.
Five years after his death, Paramount is going to release a documentary about his life and career. I am Paul Walker is set to release August 11th, and the trailer already has people in tears.

The documentary has home videos, old movie scenes, and interviews with people who were close to the actor in his incredible lifetime.
It is directed by Adrian Buitenhuis who directed I am Heath Ledger, which came out last year on Spike.
If that movie is any indication of how moving this new documentary will be, I am Paul Walker is going to be a grand slam of emotion.
