THE FEATHERWEIGHT

September 19th, 2024

THE FEATHERWEIGHT- 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Set in the mid-1960s in Hartford, Connecticut, The Featherweight presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep the winningest fighter of all time–who, down and out in his mid-40s and with his personal life in shambles, decides to make a return to the ring, at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life. Painstakingly researched and constructed, the film is a visceral portrait of the discontents of twentieth-century American masculinity, fame and self-perception.”

9/19/24- Excellent early reviews for this documentary. TRDB.
