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. Rewriting his own narrative through passion and perseverance .

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 external noise 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 and it is just one example of many around the UK and the world.

I am grateful to be able to share this small country gym through my lens and show how Longs gym is held in such high regard, even changing peoples lives for the better.
