Part of this work reflects Future’s story, his history. In the first instance I want to acknowledge and thank Chris Kohn and David Berthold for their commitment, in developing and programming this play at Brisbane Festival in 2015.
His story captured our imagination and his energy and positivity infected us immediately. Prize Fighter has evolved from a relationship La Boite developed with Future D. Regardless of who or what your opponent is, everyone is a Prize Fighter. Defeating your opponent requires strategy, but defeating your memories requires more than just that. This story is not about statistics, but outlining the reality of what is not being shown, through the power of boxing. Prize Fighter is a mythical story inspired by personal experiences of these wars, and resonates around trauma from family loss and motivations of the DR Congo. The war in Congo has created hundreds of child soldiers and resulted in a high level of rape of young and old women. That’s a quarter of Australia’s current population. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has reported a death toll of 5.4 million Congolese since 1996. Therefore, these minerals are a blessing to those who use smartphones and electronics, but a curse for the people living in Congo. DRC holds 80 percent of the world’s coltan. The most commonly used of these minerals this generation is coltan, which is used in smartphones, TVs, computers, laptops, etc. The Democratic Republic of Congo is well known for its richness in natural resources and minerals such as gold, diamond, coltan and petroleum to name a few. This is not close to half the great genocide of Rwanda that claimed almost a million lives. The death toll in these three countries combined is recorded to be approximately 371,000 people since 2001 according to Watson Institute’s Costs of War report. Surprisingly enough, if I asked you about one of the greatest mass killings in the world after WWII, I wouldn’t be surprised if you said the war in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan. No US release date is set.In a world that depends on technology, it’s hard to miss breaking news of an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that kills 19 people or the news about a massacre of five people in the middle of Europe. Signature will debut Prizefighter streaming on Amazon's Prime Video in the UK starting July 22nd, 2022 this summer.

Jem Belcher is born into poverty, and brought up by his grandfather, a former boxer now struggling with addiction. Here's the first official UK trailer for Daniel Graham's Prizefighter, direct from YouTube: This looks solid, but it does have that odd streaming sheen to it, and also seems a bit underlit. Matt Hookings (who also wrote the screenplay) stars as Jem, alongside Russell Crowe, Ray Winstone, Marton Csokas, Jodhi May, Julian Glover, Lucy Martin, Glen Fox, and Ricky Chaplin. This sounds a lot like every other boxing movie, with the big difference that it's set in the distant past, just barely in the 1800s. He decides to work with a renowned trainer and fight his way to the top of England. The film tells the true story of Jem Belcher, brought up by his grandfather (Crowe), a former boxer now struggling with addiction.
