They Call Me Superman

For some amateur boxers in Los Angeles, the sport represents more than just a workout. It's a lifeline. Meet 'Superman', the coach at Wild Card Boxing Gym who draws from his own life experiences overcoming homelessness and poverty to guide students like Shay through turbulent times.

This inspiring California-based story was created for and distributed by PBS SoCal in the run up to the release of their documentary series Muhammed Ali.
