Documento Boxe

2005 · 53 min

A quiet, observational documentary that follows boxers through gyms and dressing rooms, letting the grit and grind of the sport speak for itself.

Directed by
Miguel Clara Vasconcelos
Starring
Jorge Pina
Overview
Five situations in the career of the professional boxer Jorge Pina. You get to meet Mário, an amateur boxer, Casteli the president of the boxing association, Vítor the coach, Jorge Pina himself and Magalhães the manager. You see them getting ready in the dressing room, the weighing in of the athletes, partying, the training, the gymnasiums and everything surrounding a less than clean fight.
