Plot:	An exciting reality-film about the deadly performance-sport of snake-boxing and over-hyphenation.
Overview:	An exciting reality-film about the deadly performance-sport of snake-boxing! Thai-American Tom Tavee traveled to the village of Ban Kok Sa-Nga (population: 655) in Isan, Thailand, where the world's most dangerous serpent, the king cobra, has become both a pet and a business partner. The entire village - from elders to children - works as one and performs relentlessly at their temple to attract tourists and herb buyers. The main attraction is the boxing matches, man versus snake, one on one! Bites are commonplace but, unbelievably and intelligently, the village has no anti-serum to combat the deadly toxins. Tavee was able to obtain incredible access into the lives of the fighters and has succeeded in accurately and dramatically documenting this dangerous performance-sport of snake-boxing, the art of theatrically antagonizing the largest venomous snakes in the world. Some of the boxers have been bitten dozens of times, but despite losing fingers and friends, the boxers love their snakes and their perilous profession.
