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.
