democratic reform, we are taken into the world of bare-knuckle fighting

sport of Lethwei as its practitioners grapple with an unusual series of
challenges stemming from the opening of Myanmar to the outside world.
Lethwei is an ancient bare-knuckle fighting sport that once prepared men
for combat and served as a rite of passage into manhood. Today, the
sport is a symbol of strength and athletic prowess for the people of
Myanmar, who for decades have been beaten down and stripped of their
pride and dignity by a brutal military dictatorship. This fascinating
first-hand account of Lethwei was filmed in various locations throughout
