Farang ba (2003)
'Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, as by the obstacles which one has had to overcome.' - Booker T. Washington.

Wow. A truly fascinating documentary about an unassuming American 40-something lawyer, who's been involved in more than his fair share of personal struggles. Craig, (whom by his own admission) had been more of a bookish academic than an athlete in the first half of his life, arrives in Thailand and is quickly seduced by Bangkok's boxing culture. His slavish dedication to the sport, whilst battling a series of life threatening illnesses, subsequently cements his reputation as 'Farang Ba' (Crazy White Foreigner).
As a 40-something, Muay Thai enthusiast from the UK, I found Craig a very likeable and inspirational guy. Farang Ba is a truly uplifting rumination on overcoming adversity. I Loved it.
