"Beautiful Boxer"
2005
Directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham

Based on the amazing true-life story of a famed Thai kickboxer, Ekachai Uekrongtham's directorial debut chronicles the saga of Parinya Charoenphol, a transgendered fighter who used his winnings in the ring to fund a sex-change operation. Told with fierce physicality and tender lyricism, Uekrongtham tracks Charoenphol (nicknamed Nong Toom) through his grueling training regiment and championship bouts, fought in makeup and drag. Real-life kickboxing champ Asanee Suwan earned Thailand's equivalent of the Best Actor Oscar for his stirring, soulful performance. Thai with English subtitles.  118 minutes.
