From internationally acclaimed director Bruce Beresford comes the inspirational true story of a small boy's extraordinary journey from poverty to international stardom. From a gruelling apprenticeship as a classical dancer in communist China, to the glory of creative freedom in America. But there is a painful price to be paid for his quest for self-expression. MAO'S LAST DANCER captures the intoxicating effects of first love and celebrity, the pain of exile, and ultimately the triumph of individual endeavour over ideology. With a brilliant performance from Chi Cao as Li Cunxin, MAO'S LAST DANCER is an exhilarating exploration of what it means to be free.
