In 1928 Japanese-occupied Taiwan, teachers at the Chiayi Agriculture and Forestry Public School (KANO) work to develop local agricultural potential. To improve the physique of students, the school forms a baseball team composed of Japan, Taiwan and aboriginal players. The group is at first an undisciplined ragtag bunch, but when the team is taken over by Hyotaro Kondo, once the most promising coach in Japanese baseball, something amazing takes place. The team, drilled into shape by their demanding coach, becomes strong and disciplined, and goes on to challenge some of the finest baseball teams in Japan.
Presented by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada in collaboration with the Canadian Film Institute. The event begins at 6:30 pm with a complimentary reception and the film starts at 7:00 pm.
In mandarin Chinese with English subtitles. Free admission.
