The Young with No Fear

In a thousand years old Yao village in the mountains of south China the people have a unique tradition of dancing in their everyday life. Drum king is a respected chief. An outsider breaks the peace of this old Yao village. Mike, a Yao ethnic minority living in U.S, is asked by his grandpa to bring long drum back to his hometown. Mike is good at hip hop and leads the youth drum team by mixing different styles of dancing. He combines modern hip-hop, light, sound and rap with Yao long drum dance. Mike's innovation is welcomed by the young people and tourists, but rejected by old people in the Yao village. Old drum king leads a group of old people to defend their tradition.
