Dida Diafat, an 11-time Muay Thai boxing champion, turns action star in this adrenaline-pumped, semi-fictionalized version of his own life story. A riveting account of his true-life ascent from a struggling lowlife to Thai kickboxing champion at the age of only 21, accompanied by a thumping hip-hop soundtrack, ‘Chok Dee’ is unlike anything you have seen before.

Dida stars as Ryan, a delinquent whose time in prison is about to come to an end. During his time behind bars, he is taught the deadly art of Thai boxing by fellow con Jean. The action hurtles to Bangkok as Ryan aspires to become that rare foreigner granted access to professional Muay Thai competitions. Once there he meets Kim, Jean’s long lost daughter who takes a shine to him, and shady business tycoon Wiwat, who was responsible for Jean’s unjust incarceration. A gripping tale following the rise of a jailbird offender to world renowned boxer, ‘Chok Dee’ is an action-packed fight fest where throwing in the towel is not an option.
