Access is reserved to nine-year-old kids who stay at the centre during the whole period of their athletic training. Boxing is often the only escape route from poverty and destitution, but it is also the opportunity to honour the power of the Cuban revolution on the world stage. Andrew Lang enters into a hitherto inaccessible arena, illustrating the daily lives of three young aspiring Olympic champions over an eight month period of tough training. Competitive spirit and physical discipline combine with suffering and conflicts that make their childhood heroic and touching. Director Andrew Lang is a 27-year-old filmmaker. He has been making Sons of Cuba, his first feature film, for the last three years. His filmmaking career began with short courses at the Universidad Catolica (Chile) in 2003, and at the EICTV (Cuba) in 2005.
