Synopsis
In a lawless, world overrun by roving ships and ruthless men, a girl propels herself from a life of forced prostitution, to command the largest and most successful pirate fleet in world history. A grandma narrates an extraordinary bedtime story to her granddaughter. It turns out, there is more to this tale than helping put her child to sleep. This story is Cheng I Sao’s incredible real life story.
“They called me Cheng I Sao,
but I wish I could have had my own name.”
Cheng I Sao:
A Forgotten Feminist Heroine
In 1805 Cheng I Sao, was a precursor of Feminism. She stood up to colonial and imperial oppression.
History barely remembers her, and we believe the world is ready for a female Asian heroine.
We combine different techniques (Tilt Brush, Live action filming, and poetry) to bring her story to the world.
