A drama based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin. At the age of 11, Li was plucked from a poor Chinese village by Madame Mao's cultural delegates and taken to Beijing to study ballet. In 1979, during a cultural exchange to Texas, he fell in love with an American woman. Two years later, he managed to defect and went on to perform as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet and as a principal artist with the Australian Ballet. —Anonymouswindchimeletter writingwatching a movielooking at oneself in a mirrorvideotape264 morePlot summaryPlot synopsisTaglinesBefore You Can Fly You Have To Be Free.GenresBiographyDramaMusicRomanceMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated PG for a brief violent image, some sensuality, language and incidental smokingParents guide
