Another small but fine film. It's hard to imagine a more incredible project than this one: Chinese director and screenwriter Zhao Ting met Brady Jandreau while filming her first feature film, The Song My Brother Taught Me to Sing. He had fallen from his horse and suffered serious head injuries, and was banned from riding. "The Knight" is a mildly fictional version of the story, starring Jandreau himself (whose last name was changed to Blackburn in the film), his family, and partially paralyzed former Cowboys star Lane Scott (who also plays himself). Few non-professional actors can bridge the gap between reality and imitation so perfectly, and director Zhao Ting has done it.
