    Watched it at my mates last night. Very good film to be fair, it's hard to grasp just how much boxing means to them. That Cristian Martinez kid maybe one to look out for at the 2012 Olympics if he makes the cut.

    I think that's the one I saw on TV a bit ago.

    My dad was in something similar when he was a kid so when we watched it he started remembering back when he was a boxer.

    Damn nice vid. Starving kids in growing age - in order to make weight - can't be good in the long run though.

    I'm one of the producers of SONS OF CUBA - glad to hear that you guys like it! You can order the DVD off our website (www.sonsofcuba.com) - just click on the "Buy DVD" button.

    Just a quick note, it's currently only available in PAL format, not NTSC, but you should be able to play it on a laptop if it doesn't work in your DVD player.

    Thanks
    Francine
