NEEDLE THROUGH BRICK is a film about the struggle for survival of traditional art and culture in the face of a rapidly changing and modernizing world. The documentary is told from the perspective of time-honored Chinese Kung Fu masters living in Borneo, East Malaysia. The story explores the history and the art of Kung Fu and asks deep and important questions about how cultural heritage can be kept alive in a world that prefers to forget about its origins. NEEDLE THROUGH BRICK bridges sensitive and intimate storytelling with sumptuous visuals, and a dynamic and powerful original score. As a non-fiction film, NEEDLE THROUGH BRICK encompasses many of the subgenres of documentary film, including historical, independent, educational and social & cultural documentaries. The sadness and tragedy conveyed in the personal stories and anecdotes of today's last surviving traditional Kung Fu masters, along with the majesty and beauty of their skills, serve as reminders of the frailty of even the deadliest of arts.

  • Can watch it on hulu. Just search it on the sight!

  • Very moving , could listen to the old man all day long !..

  • you can watch the full video on hulu

  • Haha Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 at 1.10. Good old game :)

  • Don't you feel that some of the issues covered in the film are really just down to old men moaning about the younger generation, the way old men always do? I hope so - would hate to see traditional kung fu become extinct.

  • Does anyone else know any other documentaries like this one? I love all things to do with Kung Fu especially when they take it seriously like this documentary. So many people today are so ignorant when it comes to martial arts, I wish I was lucky enough to find a master like the ones in this video but there is no body near where I live.

  • Whoever is the person who dislikes this video can go jump off a cliff.

  • btw that old man in 2:46 must be at least 90 by now. seriously, he still very healthy looking.

  • Hulu  dot com

  • you all can watch it from hulu if u r in usa only ^_^ saw it, it's a great film. .
