Man is beast is a Mandarin Chinese language short film which follows the story of two Underground fighters, Sai Hu and Hei Xiong, whilst they prepare for their upcoming fight. Both fighters seem immune to the perils and dangers of the world that they are competing in. In mocumentary style we go into their houses and witness their day to day lives, training regimes and what drives them to do what they do. We flit between light hearted interviews and the fast paced gritty fight itself, which takes place two days later and emphasises the brutality of the ‘sport’. This is life or death! Man is Beast is an action film with a twist.
