Synopsis by Kimber Myers
China's Heilongjiang Acrobatic troupe has spent decades perfecting their skills as one of their country's most impressive teams, but this documentary captures their efforts to take their talents to the next level. Led by artistic director Guan Xin Min, they make the unique innovation of bringing their complicated show to the ice, increasing the skill level and danger. Once they have perfected this show, they expand beyond their country's borders, but outside events may make their international tour an impossibility.
