Bridge Over Troubled Water Trailers

Having spent over a year in the town of Jiasian in Kaohsiung to shoot this documentary, Golden Horse award-winning director Yang Li Chou (The Long Goodbye, Young at Heart) puts together an inspirational post-catastrophe documentary with Bridge Over Troubled Water. Capturing the emotional journey of children through a national tug-of-war tournament and the hard lives of foreign brides in the region, the documentary tells of the determination and bravery shown by the survivors of a calamitous typhoon that struck Taiwan in 2009. A group of young children volunteer to take part in a nationwide competition in order to restore hope in their town, while a large number of foreign mothers in the area hope to revive the land that they love through exotic cuisine.

Reviews
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
