Tyson

The film tells about the life of the famous American black boxer Mike Tyson, beginning with childhood and up to that sad moment when he was sentenced to six years prison for raping a girl who took part in a beauty contest for the title "Miss Black America"...

Gloomy, deeply personal, cruel, funny, absurd, erotic, offensive, tragic and human, this film connects early Tyson's memories with his current dilemmas, revealing him not just as an individuality - an extremely controversial legendary person in the world of fistfight - but as a figure who created miracles wherever it comes to race and class.

More than an hour of footage, grouped on the basis of archive records of battles, interviews and photographs.
