Your thoughts on this movie....

Based on the Alan Scott Haft’s novel about a boxer who survived Auschwitz by being forced to fight fellow prisoners in the concentration camps. If he won, he got fed and allowed to live long enough for the next bout, while the seventy-six opponents he beat were led to their deaths.

Haunted by the memories and guilt over the price of survival, Haft attempts to use high-profile fights against boxing legends like Rocky Marciano as a way to rediscover a reason to live and to again find the woman he fell in love with before the war.
