Based on Billy Moore's memoir, A Prayer Before Dawn follows a British inmate imprisoned in a Thai prison who is forced to fight for his life in brutal Muay Thai bouts. Joe Cole delivers a lean, ferocious performance as a man battered by violence, hunger and corruption while seeking a way out. Directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, the film is a stark, immersive prison drama that blends visceral fight sequences with a survival-focused, humanist core.
