Film Description:
This documentary beautifully narrates the journey of a group of professionals—including stunt performers, fight directors, cinematographers, and writers—who travelled to Tanzania to impart filmmaking skills to a school of young Shaolin martial artists.
As these aspiring artists learn to create action sequences and develop narratives, the filmmakers capture their inspiring evolution into East Africa’s first action movie stars. The film is a compelling exploration of passion, culture, and ambition.
