groundbreaking personal odyssey to document the ancient fighting sport
of Lethwei, which has survived in Myanmar despite decades of violence
and government control.This documentary series—shot over a
ten-year period—follows the unique, indigenous bare-knuckle fighting
sport as the fighters, trainers, and promoters survive the harsh control
of a brutal military dictatorship and into the early years of a
promising period of democratic reform that has fostered the rebirth of
the sport.Born Warriors is a unique testament that provides
unprecedented access to a world and a sport rarely explored or seen
outside of Myanmar.BORN WARRIORS

Disc OneIn this first documentary, shot before Myanmar’s era of
democratic reform, we are taken into the world of bare-knuckle fighting
that has mostly survived in rural villages; we witness the unbridled
sacrifice and passion of a small group of promoters, fighters and
trainers who attempt to keep the sport alive in the major cities in
spite of an obvious lack of means and support.Bonus Materials:Training and Training Methods

Disc TwoBorn 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.Bonus Materials:Training and Training Methods V2
