Primary
The film focuses on an individual's struggle for survival and redemption within a brutal prison system, emphasizing personal resilience and discipline rather than advocating for specific political reforms or critiquing the system from an ideological standpoint.
The movie 'Farang' exhibits visible diversity through its setting in Thailand and the inclusion of a Thai actor in the supporting cast. However, the lead roles are portrayed by white actors, and the narrative does not explicitly engage in DEI-driven recasting of traditional roles or offer a critical framing of traditional identities.
