Directed by award-winning international film director Michael Mann via RSA, this inspiring ninety-second long film reveals the emotional thoughts of Rex at the most critical moment in a fight.

The message is clear and simple, no matter win or lose, giving up is not an option. Taking inspiration from this message, comes the film’s tagline “You can’t guarantee a win, but you can guarantee a fight”.

“Hong Kong has been through a lot recently, and I feel deeply for my hometown. In this film, we envision the city as a group of athletes suffering setbacks and self-doubt, who believe that the only way to make a comeback is to give it everything you’ve got regardless of the outcome,” said Vivian Yong, ECD of W+K Shanghai.

Other outstanding local athletes including high jump champion Cecilia Yeung are also seen in the clip.

The film reveals the challenges and emotional state of mind Tso experiences as he takes a merciless blow, hits the ground recklessly and hears the referee’s countdown. Each breath Rex takes and his eye blink cuts to scenes of similar situations other athletes face and how they struggle to overcome those daunting moments.

When asked about what it meant for him to be featured in this local Just Do It film, Tso said he was grateful that Hong Kong athletes are finally gaining worldwide recognition. “I am touched and honored to be featured in it, and hope I’d be able to inspire other athletes to push boundaries they never thought possible.” said Rex.
