Coalville Gold
Format: Documentary Short
Director: Ross Bolidai
Coal has long gone from Coalville. Left of this once thriving Leicestershire town are young men like Stevie Gold, who dream of glory in an economically crippled community.
Once a hardened criminal, Stevie finds redemption and fame through bare knuckle boxing. When he breaks his hand, loses the love of his life and is challenged to a rematch against a far more experienced fighter, he has only his family and himself to lead him to victory.
