1:00 PM-3:00 PM

Jefferson Academic Center

950 Main Street, Worcester

The feature film this year is called 'El Boxeo,' a documentary by Director Alan Swyer. El Boxeo tells the story of the emergence of Latinos in the sport of boxing. According to Cinema320.com, "The film illustrates the evolution of the sport as Latino fighters exploded onto the scene. And, reveals how these immigrant pugilists redefined the world of boxing and established the west coast as the new mecca in the sport. EL BOXEO is as much a film about Latinos in boxing as it is about the immigrant stories that reshaped the sport."
