Heart of A Tiger

Heart of a Tiger is a documentary movie about WWII Flying Tigers’ pilot Glen Beneda who was shot down behind enemy lines while taking part in a secret mission.

The Flying Tigers were an elite group of US fighter pilots secretly recruited by the Presidential Authority to help China resist Japanese occupation during the early days of the Second World War.

With the help of Chinese villagers, a badly injured Beneda travelled over 500 miles by foot through enemy territory with little food or sleep while avoiding an enemy determined to kill him. In his 80s against the doctor's orders, saying that the trip might kill him, Glen travelled to meet the villagers who saved his life to say thank you.
