Long-time Japundit reader Carlos Aguirre has written in to alert us to the world premier of a feature-length documentary named Tokyo Cowboys at the Japan Film Festival 2008 in Los Angeles on April 14.

Tokyo Cowboys: a new feature length documentary tells the stories of a group of westerners who gave up their jobs, homes and countries to pursue their dreams in the cut throat world of Tokyo.The film’s delicate and humorous portrait illuminates the price some pay for a taste of Tokyo’s success. Shot over a two year period, the film follows the trial and errors of its heroes’ quest for opportunity on this post-modern urban frontier.
