The Great Pinoy Boxing Era 1994

More than just a film about the first Filipino American boxers…it’s an insightful exploration into the “first wave” of the Filipino American experience. Filipino men came to the U.S. not only as farm laborers, but as prize-winning boxers during the ’20s and ’30s. These Pinoy heroes were symbols of pride and hope for equality in an unwelcoming America. This documentary also reveals the contributions by Filipinos to the international boxing technique.
