The Fighter

Growing up in Bangkok's biggest slum, Cha had a tough upbringing. Khlong Toei is known for high levels of unemployment and crime. Education is often seen as a futile pursuit in the face of poverty. But in the heart of this chaos, Muay Thai boxing has become Cha’s anchor. By channeling the discipline of boxing into all aspects of her life, Cha has found a sense of purpose, inspiring her younger brother to follow in her footsteps.
