The Power of One
An exhilarating epic of a triumph of the heart.
Directed by John G. Avildsen
Produced by Regency Enterprises, Alcor Films
An inspirational coming-of-age drama about an orphan who finds mentorship and purpose in fighting injustice through boxing and moral conviction in apartheid-era Africa.
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.
