A story of underground fighting, of men searching from Street to Cage for something that society has told them is wrong.
-----------------
Away from the picture postcard image of Bangkok exists a world of darkness, violence, pain. Young men meet to fight, not for money, not for glory, just to feel alive. Operating on the fringe of society, and considered by most to be thugs,
they have created a community that allows ordinary men to feel free from the pressures of their daily lives.
All say say the same ‘When I fight I feel alive.’
We are told that fear is something we should seek to avoid. That safety and compliance are the paths to happiness.
But what if this is wrong? For many men, this safe existence is a prison that they are only freed from through
the primal simplicity of violence.
With the ever increasing absence of physical experience in peoples lives, we follow a group of men searching
for something that society has told them is wrong. In the process learning what it means to be a man in our digital society.
This is not a story about fighting but the men that fight.
We will follow some of the organisations key members, as they battle for acceptance
within the closed world of fight sports and a hostile society beyond.
