Synopsis
In this documentary of the historic and influential fight, we see the stories of two young lads intertwined like barbed wire and thorns. The Brains and Brawn of Alec had been met with its adversary in Saddiq’s shadowy and cunning prowler primitive instincts.

Transpiring in a biblical series of events, we set the scene In Highfields... Purgatory.
