Surviving Bokator

What started as a genocide survivor’s dream to revive an ancient sport becomes an inspiring mission to heal a nation. Grandmaster Sean Kim San, one of the few remaining instructors of the ancient Cambodian martial art of Bokator, makes it his life’s work to resurrect Bokator and preserve it in the nation’s youth. Grappling with his own tragic past and resistance from the community, the grandmaster and his young students work to bring back a cultural identity to a post-war nation. (Austin Film Festival)
