Kano

Under Japanese rule, an underdog high school baseball team from southern Taiwan defeats the heretofore superior northern teams and wins a rare opportunity to represent the colony in the 1931 empire-wide tournament. Comprised of Taiwanese, Taiwanese aboriginals and Japanese players, "KanA´," the Kagi Nourin School team, must integrate the ethnically mixed roster and make the best of its unique strengths to not just survive but thrive in the elite league. ??FuenpingAwards: 5 wins & 7 nominationsBudget: $9,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $11,890,062Soundtrack: Mr. Bird (Music by Suming Rupi)Chih-Hsiang Ma, Te-Sheng WeiTogo Igawa, Masatoshi Nagase, Takao Osawa2014-02-27 (Taiwan)tt2247566
