Description
In a boxing camp on the Thai-Burmese border, the children of mostly illegal
migrant workers fleeing Burma live and train for prize fights. Fists of
Pride follows Little Tiger and his fellow fighters as their Thai
coaches prepare them for the annual Water Festival competition. The film
reveals their daily struggles in a region where combat sports have always been
a matter of honour and money. Bets are open, and as their hope of winning
prize money grows, the young boxers contemplate what a victory could mean for
them and their family.
