Based on real events, CHILDREN OF THE SILK
ROAD is a sweeping but intimate story set against war-torn China in the
1930’s. The film centers on a young English journalist (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers),
an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the leader of a Chinese partisan group
(Chow Yun Fat) who meet in desperate and unexpected circumstances. Together
they rescue 60-orphaned, children leading them on an extraordinary journey,
across hundreds of miles of treacherous terrain, through snow-covered mountains
and an unforgiving desert. Along the way they discover the true meaning of
love, responsibility and courage.
