Champs

Bert Marcus writes and directs this documentary which tells the stories of champion boxers Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins. Using boxing as a way of escaping the gang violence and extreme poverty of their childhoods, each fighter battled to overcome huge obstacles in order to achieve sustained success in the ring. The film features archive footage and extensive interviews with the boxers themselves, as well as insight from celebrity fans such as 50 Cent, Mark Wahlberg, Mary J. Blige and Denzel Washington.
