I Very much enjoy these styles of documentary, so I thought I would share this and ask for an opinion from those who have seen it on what this one is like? Apparently it took 5 years to make this...

Several years ago, Peter McCarthy was assaulted by a gang while walking home from a night out. In this unprovoked attack, he received severe lacerations to his face and almost lost the sight in his left eye.
Fight or Flight began in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand and has taken over five years to produce. The film explores the nature of conflict in man through the world of ring fighting in Thailand. Based on an epic journey throughout Thailand’s Muay Thai boxing culture, Fight or Flight has been described as "Something altogether different and deeply compelling".
Hailed as one of the most psychologically in-depth movies in its genre, Fight or Flight is a "one of a kind” film that uses human violence as a platform for a deep, and at times disturbing, story. Peter J McCarthy spent over eighteen months in Thailand and together with Co-Director Shane Sutton has created a feature film which is now traveling the world. An odyssey of self discovery, it tells a universal story that is relevant to all people today. It has received international acclaim as a contemporary and powerful documentary feature film; it is available on this site as a 78 minute documentary feature in DVD format.
