A Documentary Feature about World Champion boxer Joe Calzaghe, and his extravagant father Enzo, who trained him throughout his 20 year career. Their journey started in a tin shed on the windswept hills of the Welsh Valleys and ended under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden – fighting for a final payday that neither could have ever imagined. <br /> <br /> Some say he’s the real life Rocky. But Rocky lost... Joe never did.<br /> <br /> The film charts Joe's life from impoverished beginnings in industrial Wales and a child-hood of gruelling training and horrendous bullying, to Joe and Enzo taking on the vicious world of Boxing, beating the best fighters that America could throw at them and getting out with their lives, relationship and fortune in tact. <br /> <br /> A rags to riches tale of incredible sporting challenges and triumphs and an emotional study of a unique father and son team. <br /> <br /> The film inspires us to look to a new breed of fighting champion. Do we want our sons and daughters to respect those who did it all regardless of the personal cost? Or those who can now look to a long and bright future and fresh new challenges with their loved ones by their side?

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
