In 2010 CinemAsia presented the FilmLAB program of 2010. Early 2010 Filmlab put out a call for submission and a select lucky few Asian Dutch Filmmakers were selected to create a concept for a short film with the theme Underdog Hero – how people can surpass themselves in hard times. In difficult times unlikely heroes stand up to fight poverty and political as well as social problems.
