NINJA Shadow Warriors is unearthing the true history, unique military skills and ancient traditions behind the infamous Ninja, a small band of rebellious Japanese
mountain villagers, who struck fear into ordinary people’s lives and were a constant thorn in the side of the battle hardened Samurai warrior clans. The documentary tells the intriguing story of Ninja boy Tanba who was trained by his grandfather to become one of the most feared warriors in ancient Japan. Experts include British and Japanese historians as well as Master Kawakami, one of the last (if not only) surviving Ninja masters, who demonstrates for the first time on television the unrivalled tricks the Ninja used to fool their enemies. The Smithsonian Channel, ZDF / Arte and NGTI co-pro includes historical re-enactment, CG Animation, elaborate costumes and original weapons. First part of the UNTOLD HISTORY series on ancient warriors. Urban Canyons is seeking co-pro and pre-sales finance for future episodes filmed in HD and 3D. |
