Champion
“Fighting or loving, he was the... CHAMPION”
Drama
An unscrupulous boxer fights his way to the top, but eventually alienates all of the people who helped him on the way up.
VIBE
A dark, brooding journey into the heart of ambition. This film noir classic feels like a smoke-filled room, where every shadow hides a secret and every victory comes at a steep price. It's a stark look at the cost of success.
