Fighters is often cited as the definitive documentary film on the subject of boxing. It brilliantly captures both the romanticism and the agonising, sweat-dripping discipline inherent in this hardest game of all.

Real Money is an improvised drama film, acted by the boxers who appear in Fighters. It tells the parallel stories of young boxers lured into lives of crime and easy money, the trainer who is determined to help them, and the ruthless gangster who pulls the strings.

These films are startling documents which explore the enduring appeal and potency of the image of the professional fighter - in cinema and as part of our own fantasies and aspirations.
