Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance
Fighting documentaries are often only as entertaining as the combatants they highlight. In the case of Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance, the director’s spotlight is cast upon three unlikely and diverse protagonists – each one an up-and-coming fighter, but all three possessing strikingly different backgrounds and goals. As such, the “star” of A Fighting Chance is not so much Muay Thai, as it is the fighters themselves, and their dreams of rising to the top in one of the toughest contact sports on the planet.
