The Heat Of Summer: Fighting For Change
Clip: 7/6/2014 | 3m 28s
First installation of the Heat of Summer about Chicago Crushers boxing club.
Boxing and church don’t seem to go hand in hand. But Beautiful Zion M.B. Church on the city’s South Side is home to the Crushers Club, a boxing gym that helps rehabilitate Englewood’s youth. Just last year Crushers Club took up residence at the church, and since then it has been flooded with young people. Just as interesting as its location are the characters that call this place home.
