Fight to the Max

Louisiana Prison Boxing Championships 

From Simeon Soffer (director of the Academy Award nominated documentary THE WILDEST SHOW IN THE SOUTH) comes the new film FIGHT TO THE MAX, which spotlights the Louisiana Prison Boxing Championships and the trials and tribulations of incarcerated boxers who fight for pride and redemption in one of the country's harshest penal systems. The film goes deep into life in prison, following boxers from four different prisons as they train in preparation for the Department of Corrections Boxing Championships, an all-out war between the toughest prisoners in the south. Beautifully shot in color and black-and-white 16mm and scored with music provided by the inmates, FIGHT TO THE MAX is both thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting in its message.
