The legendary Havana Boxing Academy opened its doors to a foreign film crew for the first time ever.
Dominating the field of Olympic boxing for the past
quarter-century, Cuba's gold medal-winning athletes have propelled
their tiny nation onto the world stage and served as an
unconventional tool of foreign and domestic policy. The legendary
Havana Boxing Academy - where physical training and
revolutionary indoctrination go hand in hand - opened its
doors to a foreign film crew. As Fidel Castro's faltering
health throws the future into question, this program reveals the
academy as a microcosm of Cuban society, where grade-school boys
are groomed to fight for the honor of the revolution.
