Let The Games Begin: Regional Preview: Sons of Cuba (15) S

Cuba has ruled the world’s boxing ring for several decades, but in this richly photographed match the boxers are only twelve years old. At the Havana Boxing Academy, handpicked young athletes eat, sleep, and dream boxing as they train for a shot at a better life, the praise of their heroes and the approval of their leader, Fidel Castro. For the first time, a film crew was allowed inside to document the boys’ intense training regimen as they prepare for the national championship.


Let The Games Begin

Please note: this is a old season with no further events to see

Let the Games Begin reflects on the cultural and social significance of sport. Whilst sport and culture might not seem the most natural of companions, there is an incredible richness created when the two worlds come together as this season of films, talks and games demonstrates.
