George Morrison Feature Documentary Award

The film is an intimate, gripping and often humourous documentary following three young boxers from the same Dublin boxing club, St. Saviours Olympic Boxing Academy.

The club is a safe haven amongst the dangerous flats of Dublin's north inner city. There, under the guidance of the club's canny coaches, the three boxers - Darren, Abdul and Dean - fight for a better life both inside and outside the ring.

The film has proved a real crowd-pleaser at festivals and has won awards in its home country of Ireland and most recently Best European Documentary at the International Film Festival of South Africa. There have also been a few successful screenings in the US and the Chicago Tribune described the film as "the best in bare-bones, small-scale filmmaking... proof that when it comes to making smart movies, everything else matters more than money.” SAVIOURS, released theatrically in Irish cinemas in October 2008 followed shortly after Darren, one of the film's three protagonists, won a medal at this year's Beijing Olympics.
