(from www.beijingfilmfest.org)
["Beneath the Surface" provides a rare look at an exceptional,
yet under-exposed sport through the eyes of one of its greatest practitioners,
3 time Olympian Wolf Wigo – the captain of the US Olympic Water Polo Team in 2004.
Here in Beijing 2008 Wolf is the on-air NBC commentator / analyst for the men's and
women's water polo games.

"表层之下"观察了体育运动中特殊的、未被暴光的一面。它以最伟大的运动员之一，
沃尔夫.威格的视角，提供了一个罕见的视野。沃尔夫.威格曾三次参加奥运会，
并且是2004年美国奥林匹克水球队的队长。这次2008年北京奥运会上，
沃尔夫.威是NBC公司的广播评论员和分析员，他将评析男子和女子的水球比赛。

NYC boy, Wolf Wigo, has a dream to be on the US Olympic water polo team,
overcomes geographical and physical obstacles until through training and determination
achieves his goal 10 years later. The film shows exciting action above and below the water
illustrating just how tough this sport is, and features many players and coaches from the
last few Olympic Games as well as from the current 2008 Olympic team here in Beijing.
Told from the point of view of Wolf's mom the story has behinds-the-scenes flavor and
some "home footage". Authentic and real, the film shows both the challenges and the
rewards of playing water polo in the US. Here they play for the true love of the game
which is shown to be very different from playing abroad where the players are rich, famous stars.

来自纽约的男孩Wolf Wigo非常想加入美国奥林匹克水球队，他能克服来自外界和自身的障碍吗？
只有训练和决心能帮他实现一生的梦想。观众们将会看到这项激动人心并且严格的运动。
他们将会看到世界顶级运动员和水上，水下动作。运动员在一场比赛中至少要能游3英里，
并在和对手敌对式摔跤对抗时准确地射门---所有的这一切都是没法站立完成的，
因为他们在比赛中不允许碰到池底或池的边缘。

The film was produced with the cooperation of the United States Olympic Committee.
