Originally released as a motion picture in 2008.
Special features: Original theatrical trailer.
An acclaimed documentary that charts the incredibly journey of Uganda-born world champion boxer, Kassim 'The Dream' Ouma. At age six, he was kidnapped by the rebel army and forced to be a child soldier. But Ouma found his ticket to freedom after discovering the army's boxing team, and defected to the U.S. in 1998, after more than a decade of warfare. Overcoming homelessness and severe culture shock, Ouma gradually rose through the ranks of the sport to become Junior Middleweight Champion of the World.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent submitted by jjdijkstra81 on July 25, 2013, 11:16pm Great documentary- so good that it almost didn't feel like a documentary. Traged and triumph, laughter and tears. Good for whole family I'd say.
