Sweet Science (NR)

synopsis

Every four years, thousands of young men from across the nation undertake a journey from which eleven will emerge victorious as members of the United States Olympic Boxing Team. Sweet Science documents the progress and price paid during this grueling process. Captured at tournaments throughout the US, Sweet Science chronicles the lives of four top-ranked amateur boxers and their coach as they quest to qualify for the United States Olympic Boxing Team. Eight years and 600 taped hours later, it promises to be the seminal film on Olympic boxing.
