This is the extraordinary journey of Gianna Garbelli, filmmaker from Milano, into the fascinating world of boxing.
The daughter and grand daughter of boxing champions, Ms Garbelli has a natural familiarity with the passions and poetry of pugilism.
Her affection and respect for performers- of the noble art- resonate in these wide ranging conversations.
Many of the men whom she sits down with have overcome incredible adversity in life and made endless sacrifices to become the best in this the hardest and most unforgiving of all sports.
"You need a shove to get into the ring and to be a great champ!"
In her masterwork Gianna gets together with a wide cast of boxers and boxing cognoscenti.
The Oscar winning Maestro Budd Schulberg is one of her muse and his  immortal words spoken by the late, great Marlon Brando in  "On the Waterfront" have become boxing's mantra. "I could have been a contender!"
Many others the prestigious encounters in each part.
This emotionally charged doc-film dances with powerful images and music garnered from all over the world.
