Synopsis:

Two boys, Book and Non , cannot adhere to Thailand’s school culture. Every morning, students must stand perfectly in rows to sing the national anthem and recite the controversial ‘Twelve Values’ created by the military junta. The school curriculum’s core focuses only on academic achievement, making them lack interest. After school, they walk home to the Klong Toey community, the biggest slum located in Bangkok’s heart. The boys start to rap against the system of oppression and hope that music can lift them out of poverty.
Why be a student when you can be a king of rap?
