Beautiful Boxer (DVD)

He fights like a man so he can become a woman. Based on the real life story of Parinya Charoenphol, a Muay-Thai boxer who underwent a sex change operation to become a woman. Believing that he's a girl trapped in a boy's body, Parinya Charoenphol (affectionately known as Nong Toom in Thailand) sets out to master the most masculine and lethal sport of Muay Thai boxing to earn a living and achieve his ultimate goal of total femininity. Touching, funny and packed with breathtaking Thai kickboxing sequences, Beautiful Boxer traces Nong Toom's childhood, teenage life as a travelling monk and gruelling days in boxing camps. Shot in 9 provinces across Thailand and in Tokyo, the film also features a series of explosive kick-boxing matches!
