《後勁:王建民》由WYC影視(WYC Motions)拍攝,WYC影視、藝博思國際有限公司、牽猴子整合行銷股份有限公司共同出品。加拿大台裔導演陳惟揚花費四年多時間,和王建民一起飛過美國21座城市,紀錄包含王建民在德州棒球農場苦練的艱辛、熱血重返大聯盟在皇家隊的時期,貼身採訪王建民的太太、小孩、經紀人,以及和王建民共事過的教練、經理,更包含和王建民熟識的台灣球員如:郭泓志、鄭錡鴻等。讓觀眾感受從未見過王建民的另一面,感受王建民這一路付出的過程。而這一切也呼應片名《後勁 LATE LIFE》(LATE LIFE在棒球術語,指的是球在最後進到捕手手套時的尾勁,一個階段旅程的漂亮收尾)的意義。
The first and only Taiwanese player for the New York Yankees, Chien-Ming Wang held many titles: American League Wins Leader, World Series Champion, Olympian, Time 100 Most Influential, and The Pride of Taiwan. He had it all - until a 2008 injury forever altered the course of his career. LATE LIFE: The Chien-Ming Wang Story - named after the late sinking action on his signature pitch - follows the rise and fall of the international icon as he fights his way back into the Major Leagues through endless rehab programs and lengthy stints away from home, carrying the weight of the world on his battered shoulder. A poignant and intimate account of Wang's steadfast quest, LATE LIFE tells the story of a man who is unwilling to give up and unable to let go.
