Zero To Hero

媽媽的神奇小子

Zero to Hero follows the true story of Hong Kong’s Paralympic gold medalist So Wa Wai and the incredible events and people behind his success. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and jaundice that impairs both his hearing and balance, So Wa Wai and his single mother (a ferociously devoted Sandra Ng, who also produced) navigate a world that perceives disability as a weakness. When the young So discovers a love of running, he learns that incredible feats of sporting achievements come from tenacity, faith, and the love of supporters like his mother, whose own inspiring journey of raising her son will move audiences to tears.
