EMPTY HAND:

The Real Karate Kids

90min

Director: Kevin Derek        

Producer: Oscar Alvarez 

​

A true story of four young karate competitors who prepare to fight 
against their toughest rivals in the biggest tournament of the year. 

This film is an open window into their private lives. From the confines of the Karate dojo, to the wider outside world and beyond their comfort zone, the four struggle to balance the rigors of training with the demands of being a young person in America. 

This is a tale of dreams, aspirations, and the hope of taking home 
the title of the next Karate Kid Champion.
