It's a great documentary about Orthodox Jewish boxer, Dmitry Salita, and his quest to stay true to his faith while he attempts to work his way up through the gritty world of pro boxing
.Salita is an immigrant who faced brutal anti-Semitism in the Ukraine while a child. When he was still young, his family was able to emigrate to America and they wound up in Brooklyn where he started boxing to defend himself. His story is a classic American Immigrant tale, the kind we might have heard our Grandfather's tell when we were young. It's the sort of story that reminds us of how great we have it here in the US. He displays the heart of a true champion as a boxer in this film, and he shows equal conviction as he struggles to maintain his own spiritual principles.
A true FEEL GOOD picture.
Mazel Tov Dmitry!
