This story of World Champion Boxer, Kassim "The Dream" Ouma and his triumphant climb from the ghettos of Uganda, where he was kidnapped as a child and forced to join the rebel army, to the heights of the boxing world is entertaining, thought provoking and heartbreaking. Until the end, that is. After taking 90 minutes to let us know the man behind the macho posing, and following him on a pilgrimage back to Uganda to see the family he left behind a decade ago, director Kief Davidson abruptly pulls the plug and lets the screen go dark without giving us any of the “where is he now” information the audience is clamoring for. It ruins an otherwise fantastic documentary.
