‘KLITSCHKO’: Documentary about Two Ukrainian Brothers Who Box

Watched “KLITSCHKO” last night on demand from HBO. It’s pretty long, but worth your time. Its beautifully framed, slow-motion shots of punches communicate the vicious reality of boxing. It also delves into the disaster at Chernobyl, as the boxing brothers grew up right near it, and their father worked to clean up the radioactive mess. But most importantly, the documentary tells the story of the Klitschkos, two heavyweight champions of the world whose careers have always seem to be shrouded in false fact and innuendo. They said “NO” to Don King, and won’t fight each other professionally because their mother does not want it to happen. You can download it on Itunes HERE. Or watch the trailer below.
