  • Heartland Film: Awaken the Dragon

    Indy SurviveOars was given an exciting and emotional opportunity to participate in the Indianapolis showing of the 2012 Heartland Film Festival's extraordinary film AWAKEN THE DRAGON.  This inspiring film documentary is about a crew of cancer survivors transformed by the ancient Chinese sport of dragon boating.  The Sunday, October 21st screening of the film at AMC Castleton Square was dedicated to the Indy SurviveOars and included the showing of our own introductory video in the theatre, prior to the featured film.  We were thrilled and honored to have the film's director, Liz Oakley, available for comment, questions and discussion following the sold-out showing. In attendance was a great many INSO paddlers, along with friends and families, coming together to celebrate the amazing and moving documentary.  We urge anyone who has an opportunity to view AWAKEN THE DRAGON to do so.

    Please "like" the movie's Facebook page to help Director Oakley and the film creators to offer this remarkable and inspiring film to a wider audience.
