Arroe Collins Like It's Live

Set in the mid-1960s, The Featherweight presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep (James Madio)-the winningest fighter of all time-who, down and out in his mid-40s and with his personal life in shambles, decides to make a return to the ring, at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life. Painstakingly researched and constructed, the film is a visceral portrait of the discontents of twentieth-century American Masculinity, fame and self-perception. (Premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival). Here's the trailer: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNguM2JaWYw
