Why this man and why in China? In that moment, "Heart of a Dragon" was born. And since then, French set off on his own personal journey to make a feature film about hope and dreams that captivated him and a million Chinese 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. We want to encourage everybody to log onto our website www.heartofadragonmovie.com and see us on you tube..Thunderbayfilms9 channel and tell us what you think! Look forward to hearing from you.
