| Heart of a Dragon |
| Over 20 years ago, Michael French flew with a film crew from Vancouver, British Columbia to Beijing and documented something quite extraordinary – Rick Hansen, a young man in a wheelchair accompanied by a few of his closest friends who, half-way through their Man in Motion World Tour, entered Beijing with over 1 million Chinese heralding his arrival as a hero. Why this man and why in China? In that moment, the motion picture “Heart of a Dragon” was born. And since then, Michael French and his closest friends set off on a journey to make a feature film about hope and dreams that captivated him and an a million Chinese people over two decades ago – a story of a man, Everyman, who, in a test of his own self endurance, discovers the true meaning of love, loyalty, friendship, the strength of the human spirit. “Heart of a Dragon” is produced, directed and written by Michael French. Executive producers are Mark Gordon, who produced the Oscar® nominated “Saving Private Ryan” and “The Patriot”, and David Foster, 14-time Grammy® award winning producer and songwriter. www.heartofadragonmovie.com |
