Voices of a Never Ending Dawn

Summary After ninety years let it finally be known that the Cold War did not end without fire and the blood of our fathers and grandfathers was spilled on Communist Russian soil. Told in the haunting words of the young soldiers themselves, Emmy-Nominated, award-winning documentary filmmaker Pamela Peak takes us on an emotional journey inside the hearts and minds of a group of young American soldiers as they faced one of the toughest missions in American history fighting the early Communists (known as Bolsheviks) in Northern Russia in 1918. Those that survived called themselves The Polar Bears. Voices of a Never Ending Dawn is not a political film or simply a "war documentary". It is a touching human story about a group of 5,500 young Americans (mostly draftees) sent to fight under the most impossible conditions ever assigned to a unit of American soldiers. The film includes dramatic re-enactment scenes shot on location in upper Michigan during a five-day blizzard and sub-zero temperatures that strongly resemble the exact conditions these young Americans found themselves in.

Life - Fear Not

The story revolves around the Zhuang family who runs and resides in a small inn "Rest House". Zhuang Shu Qing (Shucheng Chen) is the head of the family; he is kind-hearted and is always willing to go all out to help others. His eldest son, Zhuang Dao Qiang (Rayson Tan) is a secondary school Vice Principal. He is a refined man who is deeply in love with the inn manager, Lin Jia Jia (Li Ping Chen). The third daughter, Zhuang Dao Han (Felicia Chin), has many past relationships and has a very candid personality. The youngest son, Zhuang Dao Ren (Aloysius Pang), is quirky in nature. He dreams of making it big and always thinks of ways to make a quick fortune. He meets self-proclaimed policewoman, Bai Mei Gui (Carrie Wong). He eventually falls in love with her. Though the Zhuangs lives together harmoniously, but there are times when the siblings turn against each other. Shui Qing suffers from memory lapses and could no longer carry out his duties. Dao Ren suggests selling off "Rest House" and divides the profits. His suggestion faces violent objection from the rest of the family members and their relationship soured. After much trial and tribulations, the Zhuangs finally understands the importance of family unity. They put aside all their grudges and reconcile with each other. Life Fear Not features various short stories with different themes about life. As the story progresses, each character will learn some valuable life lesson, but most importantly one should learn to lead a fulfilling and fearless life.
