More about the film:
The entertaining and profound adventures of Port Townsend’s Bill Porter (Red Pine), a world-renowned translator of ancient Chinese poetry, who ignited a movement in China to seek inner peace through poetry and mountain solitude. In these fraught times of political and economic relations with China, Bill is a living bridge between the two cultures, a bridge that is supported by ancient poetry and understanding.
