Dywayne Thomas attends the World Premiere of Roald Dahl's "Matilda The Musical" at the 66th BFI London Film Festival, held at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre in London, England.
"Punching Bag," directed by Rob Ayling and starring Michael Ajih, follows the intense journey of an amateur boxer facing not just the brutality of the ring, but the haunting internal battles that threaten to break him. In what could be the fight of his life, he must contend with his deepest fears, past traumas, and relentless self-doubt, all while squaring off against a formidable opponent. This short film masterfully intertwines raw athleticism and psychological turmoil, depicting a gripping tale of resilience and the search for redemption. A visceral exploration of the true fight beyond the gloves, where survival means conquering oneself.
