At China’s Wuqiac School of Acrobatic Arts, Children as young as seven come to live and breath acrobatics. They are there because they have raw talent, but raw talent will only take them so far; And in Harbin, the young performers of China’s only Ice Acrobatics troupe are ready to show the world their unique take on this ancient art.
At the Wuqiao School of Acrobatic Arts in the heart of China, children aged 7-17 are training to be tomorrow’s acrobatic stars. It’s a gruelling programme where the saying "no pain, no gain" resonates. Students in the "Intensive Group" are striving to perfect their skills in time for the prestigious Gold Lion Festival in Zunyi. The school is famous for its human pyramids, a spectacular feat that features prominently in their routines for the festival. As they work up to their performance date, they are confident of winning...until the star, a young girl at the very top of the pyramid, falls and hurts her ankle. Will she recover in time or is all hope lost of winning that precious gold?
