After losing his father, Rashid s'est lancé dans une série de crimes et de drogues qui lui ont presque coûté la vie. Il récupère et change sa vie en ouvrant une salle de boxe à Leicester, Angleterre pour aider à soutenir les jeunes défavorisés de la région. Grandir dans les quartiers difficiles de Leicester, Rashid est conscient des dangers qui guettent certains jeunes enfants. Seeing no available outlet to help these children escape a rough life, he creates a free of charge boxing gym that teaches them the important skill of self defense. Rashid goes beyond this and instills values such as the importance of community service. The kids are not only bettering themselves, they are improving the community that they live in, giving hope for a better city for future generations. Rashid provides a much needed service to the community that is bringing real change to the lives of underprivileged youths.
From directors Nacho Gomez and Gonzalo Escuder, The Boxing Project is curated by Planet Classroom. The two directors share a heartwarming and important story about redemption, social activism, et, surtout,, boxing. This kind of service is vital to the Leicester community that suffers from crime and drugs, and will immensely help the local children of the area. Rashid is a great example of an underdog story, that with a purpose and perseverance, one person can make real change in the world.
This short documentary is an excellent addition to the Planet Classroom lineup, and will show audiences some of the great social work that is being done around the world. Hopefully this will give people ideas about how to help in their own communities, because sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. The Boxing Project is an outstanding film and I give it 5 de 5 étoiles.
