Description
Shane Meadow visits BFI Southbank to talk about his directorial feature debut, which chronicles the lives of a group of working-class youths transformed through their involvement with a local boxing club.
Bob Hoskins achieved a career high with his portrait of Alan Darcy, a kindly everyman who reopens a local boxing club in Nottingham. It transformed him when he was young and he hopes it will have the same impact upon a group of delinquent youths who are drawn to crime. As he prepares them for a public boxing match, the boys find much-needed friendship and self-respect, realising that winning doesn’t only happen in the ring.
