In My Corner

NEW DOCS

In My Corner is an intimate and explosive portrait of what it means for young men to come of age within the world of a community boxing gym. Set in New York’s South Bronx, the film draws viewers into the gripping visual drama of an amateur athlete’s quest for success. Filmmaker Ricki Stern reaches beyond the stereotypes of break-through winners and reveals how one gym has offered small, but steady rewards for its youth growing up in the neighborhood.
