功夫雄狮

In "Kung Fu Lion," 14-year-old Jimmy, played by Tyrell Williams, a former Dutch karate champion, aspires to lead the lion dance but ends up at the tail end due to the arrival of the talented newcomer Li Jié, portrayed by Haye Lee, a kung fu practitioner. Determined to rise to the top, Jimmy must overcome bullies, impress his sifu, and conquer his own fears. This engaging coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of Rotterdam's lesser-known traditions, showcases the power of martial arts wisdom in facing life's challenges, making it an inspiring film for young audiences. Filmmaker Froukje Tan, known for previous works like "Schwerm" (2012) and "Links" (2008), brings her expertise to this dynamic tale of perseverance and growth.
