A small boxer named Joe, a black man in a white dominated world, steps into the ring against a Nazi, Aryan boxer. A huge and intimidating boxer who'd already beaten Joe three years earlier. A devastating blow to his own confidence, as well as to the morale of the world.
But Joe is no quitter. Nor will he allow his smaller size to be a setback for him. Joe is determined to prove himself and prove to the world he has value. So Joe challenges this bully once more. He mocks this Nazi boxer with his words once again. Words of confidence this time, not arrogance.
And this time around, losing isn't an option.
In a time before television, this film documents the cocky newspaper and radio banter between the two boxers. It follows Joe as he prepares himself, more mentally than physically, for the fight of his life. How he uses intelligence, strategy and his words to win the fight long before it ever occurs.
This movie fully demonstrates the wonderful art that boxing once was.
Joe wins his battles, inside the ring and outside of it. He finds out who he truly is while preparing himself mentally for the battle. Overcoming fear and defeating the demons deeply rooted within him. He accomplishes these amazing feats before he ever steps foot into the ring.
Joe's strength and determination, leading up to and during his win in the ring, boosts morale around the world. Bringing We The People Of The World to their feet to fight for themselves once again. This all takes place, just as the second World War is underway.
Joe's victory spoke loudly to the enemies of the Nazi's, people of all races, all classes, women and men alike... it provided them the necessary inner strength required to head into another yet another devastating world war. Fighting yet another battle for their lives. A war they didn't choose to be in. A war they weren't going to lose.
After Joe's victory, We The People Of The World had this one thought in their minds...
If that little black boxer, an underdog, can beat that menacing Nazi...
So can we.
I will play the role of Joe's coach and mentor in this movie.
In 1939 a monumental event created the motivation that people of all races and genders worldwide required. Focus and energy desperately needed by people who'd been beaten down by corrupt politicians and abusive corporations. A world of individuals who should have had nothing left within them. But this event stirred them. It brought them to their feet to stand up and fight again. To battle once more in another war for their lives.
