"In this uplifting documentary, a Canadian man journeys deep
into the little known culture of Myanmar (Burma) and its traditional
sport, Chinlone. Wonderfully crafted, Hamilton has made a film of
striking visual imagery"
—Hubert Davis (Oscar nominee), Canadian Spectrum Programmer,
Hot Docs
"In his lovely first film, director Greg Hamilton details his introduction to chinlone in Myanmar and the circumstances that led to him becoming the game's first foreign star."
—Jason Anderson, Eye Weekly
"...the beautiful photography...and the passionate attention to the mechanics of the game are the stuff any sports enthusiast can appreciate."
—Guy Dixon, The Globe and Mail
"...an exceptionally compelling look into a game that,
in its zone, dissolves hostility and creates an environment of peace."
