ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Kano is a 2014 Taiwanese baseball film directed by Umin Boya and produced by WEI Te-Sheng and Jimmy Huang. It depicts how the multiracial Kano baseball team from southern Taiwan overcame great odds to represent the island in the 1931 Japanese High School Baseball Championship at Koshien Stadium, when Taiwan was still under Japanese rule. Performing beyond all expectations, the underdog team advanced to the championship game in the tournament.
