“Triumphs in giving us a complete image of one of the most interesting characters the sport of boxing has ever seen.”
Sports Illustrated“The impact, eerie and profound, will stay with the viewer long after this documentary has ended.”
Boxing InsiderI Am Durán is a cinematic portrait of one of boxing’s greatest and most compelling characters, built from extraordinary archive footage and a star-studded cast of contributors including Roberto Durán, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, Marvin Hagler, Ricky Hatton, General Noriega, Don King and Bob Arum. Bringing together rare fight footage, personal testimony and the extraordinary story of Durán’s rise from poverty in Panama to four-time world champion and national icon, the film explores a sporting legend whose influence extended far beyond the ring. The film went on to win the 2020 FOCAL International Award for Best Use of Footage in a Sports Production and was shortlisted for a Grierson Award for Best International Documentary, recognising the ambition and craft behind its archive-led storytelling.
