About film
Nobody comes here without a reason, claims Gershon Luxemburg, the founder of the boxing club in Jerusalem. The Club operates out of a bomb shelter, where Gershon teaches teenagers how to have confidence in themselves and respect for their opponents – which they have to show even in the heat of a fight.
