'Din Tao' On Taiwanese DVD And Blu-Ray

 

Deltamac have announced the Taiwanese DVD and Blu-Ray releases of 'Din Tao: Leader Of The Parade' for the 29th June, 2012. The film skillfully dramatises the inspiring true story of the Chio-Tian Folk Drums & Arts Troupe, which is famous for reforming young punks by training them to drum and dance.

Synopsis

A-tai (Allen Ko) is a young man who dreams about becoming a rocker in the US. He quits school in Taipei and returns to his Taichung hometown before following his heart's desire. A-tai has never been on good terms with his father, Uncle Da (Chen Po-cheng), who runs a dintao troupe. The father and son never make an effort to understand one another, and quarrel each time they meet. But Uncle Da has other things to worry about. While his company struggles to make ends meet, long-standing rival Wu Cheng (Liao Chun) and his troupe meet with success and popularity. Irked by Wu's arrogance, A-tai decides to take the troupe's demoralised members on a countrywide walk in search of inspiration to revamp the traditional folk art form.
