This title is an acquisition.
In a boxing camp on the Thai-Burmese border, the children of mostly illegal
migrant workers fleeing Burma live and train for prize fights. Little
Tiger's 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 the young boxers
become ever more hopeful that they’ll win the prize money, they contemplate
what a victory could mean for them and their families.
