One of the most ambitious sporting documentaries in Australian history, Le Champion is filmed across four continents and is more than just a sports film. An African boxing story with the rhythm and romance of “When We Were Kings,” it is the story of a man fighting his way out of poverty and battling against prejudice while relentlessly dedicating himself to achieving the implausible. The magnificent journey of Sakio Bika is documented with a chorus of boxing's greatest stars. (Pan African Film Festival)
