Athena Chu gives a surprising performance in The Boss Up There, a triad film with a powerful religious message. Athena Chu is Tung, a tough street girl who hangs with triads and has made a mess of her life. She takes drugs, messes up in public, and is generally disdained by her own mother. Even when she's packed off to an all-female prison for rebellious reprobates, she won't heed the word of the Lord, and continually shows up her Bible study teacher. But when Tung becomes pregnant with her triad boyfriend's baby, her life hits its lowest point. The father gets sent up the river, the mother-in-law takes the baby, and Tung becomes a pathetic heroin addict. But the Lord is still there for Tung, who suddenly finds inspiration in hymns and prayer. Tung battles back from the edge, but will she be able to save those she loves? Media Evangelism produced this religious triad drama, which takes a valuable, worthy lesson and places it within the morally bankrupt triad underworld. Athena Chu is compelling and heartbreaking as the fallen angel who finds her true calling from The Boss Up There.
