Details

Against impossible odds, a small village of ordinary men and women with extraordinary courage withheld the advances of 200,000 Burmese soldiers, over and over again. As the Burmese suppression of the countryside grew more brutal, this small thorn in the side of the giant slowly swelled with numbers of refugees who came to stand and fight when they could run no more. They fought for their homes, their dignity and their lives.

Directed by veteran Thai director Thanit Jitnukul (Happy-Go-Lucky; Magic Moon; Love Affair; Crime King), the ferociously violent Bang Rajan combines the gritty realism of Saving Private Ryan with the historical grandeur of Braveheart to tell a tale of legendary courage and heroism. The film has been championed by director Oliver Stone, who released the film theatrically in the US under the "Oliver Stone presents..." banner.

The two-disc Special Collector's Edition of Bang Rajan will be released on DVD by Premier Asia on 28th February 2005.
