We Move | Official Selection @ Nosakhari Film Festival

In East London, a young Portuguese boxer, Fabio Oliveira, and an ex-champion confront personal fears and societal challenges, seeking success through boxing.

Featuring James Cook MBE — a super middleweight British champion recognised for his support of youth along Hackney’s notorious ‘Murder Mile.’

Along the journey, what Fabio finds at the Pedro Youth Club goes far beyond his time in the ring: self-discipline, a sense of community, and ultimately, a second home.
