Born Warriors Redux: Bound Fists

Born Warriors Redux returns to the indigenous Burmese sport of Lethwei, as its practitioners face a peculiar set of problems as Myanmar opens up to the outside world. Lethwei is an ancient bare-knuckle fighting sport that functioned as a rite of passage into manhood and trained men for war. Today, the sport represents power and physical skill for the people of Myanmar, who have been beaten down and robbed of their pride and dignity for decades by a ruthless military government. This amazing first-person description of Lethwei was shot in numerous locations around Myanmar.
