AAfter a lifetime of dedicated training, and flying half way around the world, Fay had just six minutes to prove to the judges she was worthy of achieving her 7th Dan and succeeded.

Fay is an author and music composer. Such accomplishments would not be unusual for the traditional Samurai of ancient Japan, who where well-versed in theatre, poetry, painting and writing.

As we follow Fay on her grading journey to Japan, our western eyes gain a deep insight into the culture of the east – a culture which ever more influences our daily lives in this time of globalisation. This observational documentary explores the synergy between two cultures, and reveals how we can empower ourselves to reach beyond our perceived goals by learning from the ancient traditions of others. How the beauty of the sword, bound by layers of quality steel, also binds together as one the mind, body and spirit of the modern day Samurai warrior.
