[7:00pm] MCC International Film Festival
- Description:
- On Friday, October 23 the MCC International Film Festival will present The Drummer (Hong Kong/Taiwan), 7 pm in the SBM Charitable Foundation Auditorium. Sid (played by Jackie
Chan’s son Jaycee), the rebellious son of a controlling and savage crime boss in Hong Kong, has to flee to Taiwan upon enraging his father’s
adversary. Hiding out in the mountains, Sid discovers a group of Zen drummers whose mesmerizing art piques his interest, and he requests to join them. Immersed in the world of Zen drumming, Sid morphs into a firm and
focused young man. His independence from the crime life and his father is profoundly challenged, however, when a twist of fate awaits him back home in Hong Kong and forces him to choose between loyalty to his family and his
newfound faith in himself.
There will be a brief discussion along with dessert after the film. There is free admission and the event is open to the public. Contact either Evelyn
Angry-Smith (512-2874) or Bob Kagan (512-2687) with questions.
