Synopsis :

Chien-Ming Wang was a supernova in Taiwan. His success as the Ace of the NewYork Yankees rocketed him into a god-like status on the island nation. His face was so ubiquitous and his impact so meaningful, that he was donned the title of “Pride of Taiwan” - a national honor he was never fully comfortable with. Wang, a man of quiet, humble disposition, never sought out the attention. All he wanted to do was play.

The film follows him as he works towards a singular goal: to fight his way back into the Major Leagues.

How much dedication and persistence does it take to realize a dream? How much courage does it take to make it back to the mound? Late Life : The Chien- Ming Wang Story tracks an extraordinary journey of an ordinary man, of someone who fell from the top and is willing to fight his way back up again.
