I watched this on Amazon this weekend and felt incredibly compelled to write a review. There is so much negativity in the world today and it is so easy to get caught up in the negative. I often look for films to help me feel inspired and escape the negativity that surrounds us and this is one such film. These men overcome such immense struggles and it's truly motivational to me in my own life to witness their stories and eventual successes.

This is a really great film in many ways and is incredibly multi-faceted. It's a sports film, an issue film and a really beautiful film all in one. I do like sports docs with heart and this is definitely one of them. I have seen other boxing docs and I think this is my favorite of them all.

This is the perfect film to watch when you want something that will not only entertain you, but also enrich you. There are so many great docs out there today and this one stands up with the best of them. The subjects are fascinating and you see them in ways that you never have before, which is a true feat, given how public they are. You will also get completely immersed in the highs that you'll feel from the action of the sport and the juxtaposition of the emotion that is palpable when each one of these men faces a hugely difficult moment in their lives. It's not jut a film about boxing, but it is a film that you can enjoy whether you are a boxing fan or if you are not. I watched on Netflix, but you can find it many places online.

This is the best documentary that I've seen all year. Although the film stars boxers Tyson, Hopkins and Holyfield, it is so much more than a boxing movie or a movie for boxing fans. The cast ranges from A-listers like Mark Wahlberg, Ron Howard, Denzel Washington and more and then includes a number of other knowledgeable experts on various subject matters. It's an incredibly entertaining film with so much heart. Any person who has ever been through a difficult time can find something to relate to and hold onto in this film. I found myself thinking about it far after I saw it, which to me, is the sign of an impactful story. Champs is a must see for me and I give huge kudos to the filmmaker for getting this story told in such a unique way. Bravo.
