The Featherweight | Official Trailer

Based on the true story of the winningest American boxer in the history of the sport. The Featherweight is coming to theaters September 20th. Set in the mid-1960s in Hartford, Connecticut, The Featherweight presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep the winningest fighter of all time—who, down and out in his mid-40s and with his personal life in shambles, decides to make a return to the ring, at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life. Painstakingly researched and constructed, the film is a visceral portrait of the discontents of twentieth-century American masculinity, fame and self-perception. The feature debut of director Robert Kolodny had its world premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. The impressive cast is led by James Madio (The Penguin, Band of Brothers), Ruby Wolf in her feature debut, Keir Gilchrist (Love & Death, Atypical), Stephen Lang (Avatar Franchise), Ron Livingston (The Flash, Loudermilk) Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (The Walking Dead, One Night in Miami), Shari Albert (The Brothers McMullen) and undefeated professional featherweight boxer Bruce Carrington. Presented by Appian Way Productions and Golden Ratio Films.   Visit the official Website for more information: Only in theaters - check your local listings.
