Review of Satree lek

Satree lek (2000)
9/10
Touching and Powerful
9 June 2001
A very well made and carefully acted film depicting life in Thailand for a small group of Transvestites.

While the movie is obviously gay, it is still very powerful in raising awareness of the need for Teamwork and and a desire to be respected, not easy for transvestites, gays or lesbians in any culture, let alone Asia.

The story is full and the characters are believable. For those with an interest in Asia and Asian sub-cultures, it is worth watching to learn more about a real group of transvestites working together to achieve a level of athletic ability shown by few.
