Project Detail

Giant

Synopsis

The exhilarating yet heart-breaking true story of the meteoric rise of British-Yemeni boxer Prince Naseem Hamed and his relationship with Irish Boxing trainer Brendan Ingle. Naseem faced down the abhorrent racism and islamophobia that swept Britain in the 80s and 90s, to become a defining global icon of the era, both inside and outside of the ring. With his unorthodox style, cocky persona and sheer dominance of the sport, Naseem was as loved as he was divisive, in the public eye, and away from the spotlight. Together with Brendan Ingle - a steel industry worker who ran a humble boxing gym in an church hall in the North of England - they founded an unlikely dynasty that would change the face of boxing globally and launch Naseem as one of the most memorable and controversial global sports stars in history. GIANT is a story about ambition, glory, identity and the search for our place in the world.

& Sons

Director: Pablo Trapero

Year: 2025

It’s been nearly 20 years since an incident tore the Dyer family apart - an incident with a name: Andy. Andy is the reason world-famous author Andrew, better known to readers as the famously reclusive A.N. Dyer, no longer speaks to his adult sons, Richard and Jamie, nor his ex-wife, Isabel. Now, feeling his time on Earth is running out, he summons his sons to be with him. When they arrive, he tells them something so unbelievable it couldn’t possibly be true. Or could it?
