Despite being a deprived, isolated island of 11 million people, Cuba is the world superpower of amateur boxing. In the past 40 years it has won a staggering 63 Olympic medals in the sport, 32 of them gold. But little was known about how these results were achieved until Lang and his team became the first film crew ever to be given access to the Havana Boxing Academy. Here, a hand picked group of 10-year old boys rise at 4am, six days a week, to begin an excruciating routine of boxing training. Chanting "Victory is our duty! Fatherland or death!" as they shadow box in the dead of night, these are the boys Fidel Castro has called "the standard bearers of the Revolution."

Sons of Cuba follows the stories of three young hopefuls through eight months of training as they prepare for the biggest event of their lives: Cuba's national boxing championship for under 12s. But during the season, crisis strikes: Fidel Castro falls ill, and all of Cuba's Olympic boxing champions defect to the USA, leaving the boys contemplating a future that is altogether different from the one they have been taught to believe in.

Hailed by The Guardian as "a spectacle of yearning and heartbreak," by Empire as "a gem of a picture" and The Telegraph as "as moving and insightful a film as you'll see this year," Andrew Lang's powerful and moving documentary is a stunning insight behind the scenes of Castro's Cuba into the lives of a group of young boys; amateur boxers training to become champions of their sport and heroes of their country.
