Ian Taylor: Prodal Khmer

This series documents small town kickboxing matches in Battambang and Banteay Meanchey provinces of Northwest Cambodia.
Young boxers go toe to toe in a ferocious medieval ritual, where winners get a couple of dollars and a way out of dead-end village life.
Held on the grounds of the local Buddhist temple, the custom has changed very little over the past few centuries - except now there's canned music, fluorescent light and the loser is allowed to live to fight another day.
