| Summary |
The remarkable true story of Billy Moore, a young English boxer incarcerated in two of Thailand's most notorious prisons. He is quickly thrown into a terrifying world of drugs and gang violence, but when the prison authorities allow him to take part in the Muay Thai boxing tournaments, he realizes this might be his chance to get out. Shot in a an actual Thai prison with a cast of primarily real inmates, A PRAYER BEFORE DAWN is a visceral, thrilling journey. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Actor at the **British Independent Film Awards**. "*It's a spare, brutal, well-crafted prison drama, anchored by an at-turns wildly aggressive and hauntingly vulnerable lead performance by Joe Cole.*" - A.A. Dowd, ***AV Club*** |
