documentary on that country's ever-changing economic landscape-this
time through the lens of sports. In China Heavyweight, Chang follows the
charismatic Qi Moxiang, a former boxing star and state coach who
recruits young fighting talent from the impoverished farms and villages
across Sichuan province. A select few boys (and girls) are sent to
national training centers, with the hope of discovering China's next
Olympic
heroes. But will these
potential boxing champions leave it all behind to be the next Mike
Tyson? Their rigorous training, teenage trials and family tribulations
are expertly intertwined with Coach Qi's own desire to get back in the
ring for one more shot at victory.
