Synopsis
Coach Sims sacrifices everything for one goal: to make his 16 year old son Kenny a boxing champion and thus break the vicious circle of poverty and violence that has held his family back for generations. With Kenny’s first big fight lying ahead, their lives are at a crossroads. It‘s a fight against the odds. But regardless of whether Kenny wins or loses, every hour spent at the boxing gym is one less on the murder- ous streets of Chicago‘s black ghetto.
