Fighting for Peace plot

In Rio de Janeiro's most violent slum, shootings are a daily occurrence and drugs are a simple means of escaping the harsh reality. British ex-boxer Luke Dowdney has a boxing gym in this neighborhood, with which he wants to offer an alternative to the youth from the favela. The same goes for Sugar and Douglas, his brightest and youngest talents. Can he help Sugar and Douglas fight their way out of the slums and grow them into international champions?
