PK, an English orphan terrorized for his family's political beliefs in Africa, turns to his only friend, a kindly world-wise prisoner, Geel Piet. Geel teaches him how to box with the motto “fight with your fists and lead with your heart”. As he grows to manhood, PK uses these words to take on the system and the injustices he sees around him - and finds that one person really can make a difference.

User Reviews

Good movie about boxing and a mix of history in Africa during and after the second world war

Incredible depiction of the underlying realities in South Africa during apartheid

Alan John Gerstle

If you like underdog success stories, this flick is passable. Picked on British South African finds his courage.

Found it a useful exploration of some elements of South African cultural divides but of course could only scratch part of that surface.

really good movie with a very good story

A trivialized film of apartheid which ends with a boxing movie. The acting is grand and production is gorgeous.

Powerful film. Deals with concepts of racial violence, segregation, love, the other and many more. Good to study, still relevant today
