THE MOVIE . . .
'A slum fairy tale . . . funny, unpretentious and relentlessly upbeat . . . its only message – endure, reach your potential, be a man . . . I can't recall such excitement about a movie since, maybe, Giant and James Dean!' ~ Time magazine.
'An oasis of upbeat expectations. Hardened cinema cynics have actually been seen standing up and cheering!' ~ New York magazine.
'One of the best boxing movies ever made – maybe the best' ~ Pete Hamill.
. . . IS A BOOK
That - like the movie - will have you laughing, crying and cheering out loud!
He came from nowhere to within a heartbeat of victory . . .
Then, suddenly, success was more difficult to live with than failure – and the downward path began.
He remembered once more the struggle from the streets, the agony, the rejection and the pain.
But would he have the chance to fight back? The chance to love and live again?
