Step Back to Glory

There is a tug of war team at Jingmei Girls High School. The team is not strong to begin with. The girls lose again and again. The training regime is hard. The sessions push their bodies. They do not give it up. The film follows their road. The story rests on real events. In 2010 that team represented Taiwan. It won gold at the world indoor tug of war championship. It was the first team from Asia to take that title. The result brought the girls scholarships as well. Members of the actual team appear in the film. It opened on 8 February 2013. Shu-yao Kuo and Kaiser Chuang appear in the hundred and twenty five minute film, a Taiwanese production Ray Chang Bai-Yui finished in 2013.
