Cuba has ruled the world's boxing ring for several decades, but in this richly photographed match the boxers are only twelve years old. At the Havana Boxing Academy, handpicked young athletes eat, sleep, and dream boxing as they train for a shot at a better life, the praise of their heroes and the approval of their leader, Fidel Castro.

For the first time, a film crew was allowed inside to document the boys' intense training regimen as they prepare for the national championship.
