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\u2019s 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\u2019s own desire to get back in the ring for one more shot at victory. Cinematically rich and intimately observed, China Heavyweight is all at once thrilling sports drama, astute social commentary and a beautifully crafted portrait of an athlete.<\/p>\n<p>Director Yung Chang in person for Q&amp;As<br \/>\nFriday 6th: 7:25 &amp; 9:40<br \/>\nSaturday 7th: 7:25 &amp; 9:40<\/p>\n<p>For more info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeitgeistfilms.com\/film.php?directoryname=chinaheavyweightght\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.zeitgeistfilms.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For location:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifccenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> http:\/\/www.ifccenter.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/china-heavyheight.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[18910]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19601\" title=\"china heavyheight\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/china-heavyheight.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China Heavyweight will open on July 6, 2012.
