New York, NY (Top40 Charts) ARROWS OF THE THUNDER DRAGON
ORIGINAL TITLE: ARROWS OF THE THUNDER DRAGON
A film by Greg Sneddon
Set in the 1970s, the story follows brother and sister Kuenphen and Jamyang where in a remote Bhutanese village, they learn traditional archery from their old warrior grandfather. The respected but eccentric old man uses a heavy hand and strict discipline to train the young Kuenphen in the art of traditional archery.
It becomes clear Kuenphen has opportunities to further his interests while sister Jamyang must stay home to weave, cook and get married; a fate the young woman is not willing to accept without a fight. When Kuenphen has to leave the village to take his mother on a 3 day walk to the old castle for medical treatment, Jamyang's own desire to explore a wider world other than the norm of following her mothers traditional life is stimulated.
"Arrows of the Thunder Dragon is a quintessential superb take on the simple life and culture of that incredible part of the Himalayas which is the Kingdom of Bhutan. Moving at a careful pace, it taunts and teases the brain, building to a breakthrough and hinting at all that is unfolding in the Constitutional Monarchy of Bhutan, under the wise counsel of both the fourth and fifth Kings. I highly commend it..."
- Tim Fischer AC, Former Ambassador and ex Deputy Prime Minister of Australia.
