From director Herman Yau (The Legend Is Born - Ip Man) comes the thrilling story of one woman who dared to fight for her ideals even in the face of certain death. Filled with intense scenes of martial arts action, The Woman Knight Of Mirror Lake burns with the fires of revolution.

In late 19th century China, Qui Jin was many things: a defiant rebel armed with both blades and guns; a paramilitary leader dedicated to overthrowing an unjust government; a non-conformist who boldly donned men's attire in spite of tradition; a radical poet whose words inspired the oppressed; a heroic martyr whose views on equality altered history. Her steadfast resolve to improve the plight of women and her bravery in the face of tyranny led her to the executioner - but her determination to topple the status quo changed a nation forever.
