Synopsis
The Havana Boxing Academy is where Cuba trains some of the best boxers in the world. Access is reserved to nine-year-old kids who stay at the center during their athletic training. Boxing is often the only escape route from poverty and destitution, but it also provides an opportunity to honor the power of the Cuban revolution on the world stage. Here, we follow the lives of three young aspiring Olympic champions over an eight month period of tough training.
