Passionately filmed for two years with no budget, SAVIOURS is an intimate, gripping and often humourous documentary following three young boxers - Darren, Abdul and Dean - from the same inner-city Dublin boxing club as they fight for a better life both inside and outside the ring.
SAVIOURS is set in St. Saviours Olympic Boxing Academy, a safe haven within Dublin's tough north inner city. There, under the guidance of John McCormack - the wise-cracking Dub and former professional boxing champion - and his team of canny coaches, the three boxers strive for victory in the Irish Senior Championships.
