This is My Life

This short documentary is about an ex-professional boxer who's life changed after a sudden event. Detailing the struggles he faced and how he brought importance back into his life.

I was lucky enough to film Chris over a 10 week period for a University project. I met many inspiring people who use boxing as an outlet from the stresses of life. With around 100 members at Long’s Gym, I wanted to capture the community that Chris has formed over a 6 year period since starting out as a coach. It was clear from early on how important this gym is, which is one example of many around Britain and the world. I am grateful to be able to share it with others and show how this boxing gym is held in such high regard, even changing peoples lives for the better.
