    Edit
    The 1st FFFI Winning Film Projects Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau first launched the First Feature Film Initiative (FFFI) in March 2013 to identify new talents through a competition on screenplay and production proposals. In the year of 1984, Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed and the future of Hong Kong became unclear. In the stream of history, this story of a baseball team beneath the Lion Rock had gradually been forgotten: In that year, 'Shatin Martins', the first Hong Kong youth baseball team, was formed. The 10 young players were living an uneasy and restless life as Hong Kong. Being humiliated by one defeat after another, the faith of 'Shatin Mart their strong rival, the Japanese Buffalo ins' hanged in the balance. However, the hardship only brought out their bravery to surmount themselves and overcome the struggles. Living in the golden age, these players ignited their glory with every game as they grew together with their city. Eventually, it all comes to the final game facing.

    Realistic e passione...
    Adapted from the true story of Shatin Martins, the first Hong Kong baseball team to win a league, I already valued it, a dramatic fiction interspersed with memories of Donald Tsang and Lu Kwong-fai, the team was actually made up of children from elementary school and not for teenagers, these adaptations bother me, but here we have a good movie, nothing as appealing as the Hollywoodians, realistic...
