About the Video

The ancient game of Go is the most complex and elegant game ever discovered. For three thousand years, master players in East Asia have handed down the game as an art form to foster patience, creativity, and self-reflection. Today in the elite world of the pros, international tournaments offer hundred-thousand dollar prize purses, and top matches are broadcast on 24-hour "Go TV" to millions of fans in China, Korea, and Japan. But in the West, most people have never even heard of the game… until now. THE SURROUNDING GAME follows the lives of three young Americans vying to become the first-ever Western professional players. As the competition intensifies and intricate patterns spill out across the board, the line between reality and imagination starts to blur.
