Plot summary
The story of four-time World Champion Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán. A one man wrecking-ball who took on the world, transcended his sport and helped inspire a nation that equaled his boxing triumphs to General Omar Torrijos' indefatigable effort to recover the Panamá Canal Zone, under U.S. control. From his days shining shoes on the street, to packing out arenas across the world, this is the story of modern Panama and one of its most celebrated child.

What a Guy.... What a Hero....
If you ever need a people's champion type of documentary - then look no further than I Am Duran - superb film and when you see him fight Iran Barkley you will be off your seat... so emotional.
What Netflix Ought to have done...
I saw this documentary yesterday. My Inspiration by Duran's life went up notches. On the other hand, I saw Hands of Stone by Netflix a few months back and I was disgusted by how Netflix had focused more on the Sex Lives and the out of context moments of the Great Legends Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran rather than What They Offered The World - The Best Version of Themselves in the Ring. It seems of late that more popular Online streaming platforms like Netflix are turning legends into "flawed characters who feast on violence and sex" on their in-house productions. It seems to be done in order to hold the short-time attention of their viewers to make quick money rather use the Attention Power to offer something good to the world that will give more value to these platforms. If you want a peek into the Real Example to the World set by these legends, do yourselves a favour and skip "Hands of Stone" and watch " I am Duran".
