This is one of the best documentaries I've seen this year. It ranks, in my mind as one of the best Sports documentaries of the year, and also comes in a perfect time - with the Rio 2016 Olympics starting in a few days. It reminded me of "Hoop Dreams" - which is one of my favorite all time sports documentaries. Following these young boxers and their dreams, along with their families struggles. The movie definitely live up to the standard. Its a thrilling movie depicting perfectly the favelas of Rio de Janiero. The director successfully grips you from the get go. The characters are interesting and the scenery is amazing. Highly recommended.
