The film goes much deeper than the average sports doc, revealing the dark side of the business behind boxing and the way boxers are really treated in the industry.

He follows the champs’ individual paths to success as they recount their personal battles, illuminating some of the country’s most critical social issues: poverty, racial inequality, substance abuse, violence and the failures of the educational and prison systems.
