Sons of Cuba is a documentary which follows the stories of three young hopefuls through eight dramatic months of training and schooling as they prepare for the biggest event of their lives so far: Cuba’s National Boxing Championship for Under-12’s. However, global events impact on the hopes of the young boxers when Fidel Castro is taken ill. A warm and empowering movie; a boxing must-see.
"There is almost unbearable pathos in Andrew Lang's documentary about the Havana boxing academy.... A spectacle of yearning and heartbreak."
The Guardian
"Lang, wisely, refuses to judge, preferring to let this beautifully structured story of sacrifice, companionship, grief and glory speak for itself."
