Notes
Thunder Bay
Over twenty years ago, Michael French flew with a film crew from Vancouver, British Columbia to Beijing and documented something quite extraordinary, a young man in a wheelchair accompanied by a few of his closest friends who, half-way through their around the Man in Motion World Tour, entered Beijing with over 1 milli...on Chinese heralding his arrival as a hero. 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.Read More

Sad news today about one of
our incredible volunteers. Jean was a fabulous Ambassador,
event committee member and supporter of the Foundation and will be greatly missed.
Jean and his family are in our thoughts today.
