Synopsis
Director Peter McCarthy is the victim of a merciless attack. Fight or Flight is the real life story of one Irishman’s journey that takes audiences from the streets of Dublin to the underbelly of ring fighting scenes in Thailand. He escapes to Thailand to deal with a tumult of emotions; anger, fear and revenge.
Whilst Peter’s initial encounters in the boxing ring bring him a sense of euphoric release, his experiences lead him to question even more the upsurge of violence in modern society. Peter begins to explore sport within Thai culture – from a brutal cock fight to a typical ring fighting event in which one of the more bizarre draw cards include two mentally handicapped men.
Told with great dramatic effect and filmed with truckloads of cinematic style, Peter’s journey into the East takes him to the edge of his own reality.
Fight or Flight has been embraced, supported and welcomed by the martial arts industry that sees it as a unique and important film for western society. Not many martial arts films tour film festivals. Fight or Flight is a pioneer that amalgamates spiritual and martial arts in one movie.
Martial artists of all areas who have viewed the film have hailed it is an extremely positive piece for martial arts that encourages all individuals, not just those involved to look upon martial arts in a new way.
Good Dog Films would appreciate any help by the martial arts world in telling people about this film or by adding [link widoczny dla zalogowanych Użytkowników] as a link on your blog or website.
