In this rousing and personal documentary, director Joan Chen charts the inspiring life and career of Lang Ping, a fearless volleyball star who’s crafted one of the most remarkable journeys in modern China.
After captaining the national team to a historic gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, Ping moved abroad to forge a career on her own terms.
With never-before-seen footage, THE IRON HAMMER explores how Lang Ping’s success coaching both Team USA and China set a new example of female empowerment and global ambition for a country at a crossroads leading up to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
