Dear Friends,
When I got the job as host of National Geographic's Ultimate Explorer, I begged the producers to let my first documentary be about a story I've been dying to do. Growing up Asian American, in an almost entirely Caucasian community, I always felt conflicted about my identity. I would learn that this feeling was a common one in immigrant communities. About three years ago , I learned of this remarkable young and very tall basketball player in China who was posed to become a superstar in America's NBA: Yao Ming. I knew that if he could prove himself, Yao MIng could effectively become the most influential bridge between two countries that have historically had a somewhat difficult relationship: the US and China. I believed that this one guy could help to change so many stereotypes that have plagued Asians in America forever. On the surface: he's literally larger than life, he's an exceptionally talented athlete and he's a powerhouse of a man. He's also such a humble, intelligent and gracious person who values his family and his team. Well, because I was so passionate about him, the producers let me make This film. It's called Basketball Diplomacy: From Mao to Yao. I have to
Tell you, Yao Ming has exceeded all of my expectations. I spent time
with Him and he opened himself in a way that I've never seen in the thousands Of interviews that he's done. And he really provided such a window Int the changes that are taking place in China and has come to symboliza China's mergence as a global superpower. His access to the Chinese market is ndeniable and he is under so much pressure to deliver because over a billion people in China and people all over the world are counting on him. But despite the pressure, he has carried himself in such an elegant way and he's proven that he's got mad game. This film really isnt' about basketball, it's about an emerging nation, the immigrant struggle and globalization. If you could help me spread the word about this film, I would be truly grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
