Boxing Libreville. A decisive fight
Premiered at the prestigious Visions Du Réel film festival, this documentary is a portrait of the life of Christ, a young Gabonese man who lives in the duality of pursuing his boxing career during the day and earning his livelihood at night as a watchman in a nightclub.
Directed by young Gabonese filmmaker Amedee Pacome Nkoulou, the film is a metaphor for a country still dreaming of a democratic transition through the "anonymous" face of one of its inhabitants. Raw, tender and poignant, the documentary is a powerful piece of humanity in the midst of the labyrinthine African social-political context.
