According to the Director, Justin Kawika Young, the project is the first feature length documentary about the man who attacked Nancy Kerrigan; Shane Stant. 

Young said the “film is titled My Hero the Hitman, and it follows how this event, and how Shane’s subsequent incarceration, changed him into someone who is ultimately a hero to his sister.

‘We are releasing the film through Gravitas Ventures 3 May, at the beginning of AAPI month, as myself, and the two subjects of the film, Shane and his sister Maile, are all of Asian and Pacific Islander descent.”

Young further disclosed that the trailer has been “premiered at the Hawai’i International Film Festival with great community support.

“The film includes an exclusive interview with Michelle Kwan on the impact of this moment in history. Shane and Maile’s story of overcoming childhood trauma, redemption, and forgiveness is a powerful one that deserves to be told,” Young told P.M. EXPRESS in a short message along side the screener of the film sent from his base in the US.

According to Young, “Shane’s story begs the question: in different moments, to different people — can each of us be a villain, a victim and a hero?”

SYNOPSIS 

In 1994, Shane Stant famously took out Nancy Kerrigan with “the whack heard round the world.” After serving 18 months in prison, Shane moved back home and became his sister’s protecter from their abusive father. Maile was just two-years old at the time of the attack and has only known her brother’s compassion and care. 

Finally ready to confront her brotherʼs dark past, Maile struggles to reconcile the image of the hero she knows, with the infamous hitman he once was. They speak frankly for the first time about the attack and the childhood trauma that shaped both of their lives in very different ways. As Shane recounts the events of 1994, with never-before-shared details, this heart-to-heart conversation may forever change their relationship.
