run time: 80 minutes

saviours is a cross between hoop dreams and rocky - it's an intimate, gripping and often humourous documentary following three young boxers as they fight for a better life both inside and outside the ring and is set in st. saviours olympic boxing academy, a safe haven amongst the ghettoes of dublin's north inner city.there, under the guidance of john mccormack - the wise-cracking dub and former british professional boxing champion - and his team of canny coaches, the three boxers aim for victory in the irish senior championships. however, boxing is only half the tale and in this candid documentary it soon becomes clear that there is more to these youngsters' stories than meets the eye.
