Description

38 year-old Imran Naeem puts would-be future world boxing champions through their paces in a sweaty Middlesbrough gym. But he's not just teaching his pupils to deliver the perfect punch, his infectious enthusiasm is breaking down social and ethnic barriers in a multicultural society. Boxing Clever gives a voice to a unique individual who is making a real, positive difference to his community. Imran's coaching skills lead to both touching and challenging encounters, painting a refreshing, inspirational portrait of how life in inners cities could be. The cinematic documentary is both a search for human potential and a quest for the meaning of life itself, a thought provoking reflection of contemporary urban British community.
