Born Warriors Redux returns to the indigenous Burmese 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 Myanmar.
