卡西姆之梦

This is the story of World Champion Boxer, Kassim "The Dream" Ouma - born in Uganda, kidnapped by the rebel army and trained to be a child soldier at the age of 6. When the rebels took over the government, Kassim became an army soldier who was forced to commit many horrific atrocities, making him both a victim and perpetrator. He soon discovered the army’s boxing team and realized the sport was his ticket to freedom. After 12 years of warfare, Kassim defected from Africa and arrived in the United States. Homeless and culture shocked, he quickly rose through the boxing ranks and became Junior Middleweight Champion of the World.


　　Kassim, now age 27, seems to have obtained the American Dream with his jovial nature, fame and hip hop lifestyle. As Kassim trains for his next world title fight against Jermain Taylor in Little Rock Arkansas, keeping his demons out of the ring becomes increasingly difficult. His desires to reunite with family in Uganda intensify when Kassim’s only hope for a safe return is a military pardon from the president and government responsible for his abduction.


　　From the director of The Devil’s Miner, Kief Davidson received unprecedented access to Kassim Ouma during a pivotal time in the boxer’s career. Filmed in cinema verite, current events are skillfully woven in with brutal revelations of a stolen childhood. The parallels reveal a complex and haunted fighter surviving against incredible odds.

嗯。感情还是很真实的，他在坟头哭爹那会儿，我都差点湿了。这就是纪录片比普通影片更吸引我的原因之一。4.5星推荐.

一个人要经历多少伤痛，才能弥补过去的错误，呼吸幸福的空气。我相信拳击---凭借身体能量的释放和发自内心的呐喊---是最适合卡西姆的自我挽救的手段。内心越炽烈，释放的方式越激烈。每一拳，若干年后，会通过病痛再现，但那换来的幸福，覆盖了另一种无法选择的痛苦，相当值得。

原生态 人物 细节 音乐 画面都很棒 我都能感觉到摄影师在捕捉到卡西姆趁穿衣偷着抹泪时那一瞬的颤抖
