Same Race Production is proud to announce that they have produced a film about the life of boxer Zeke Wilson. The movie is based on Zeke's autobiography, which also titled 'The Eighth Round'. More info on his site is provided for those who need more details.
"I feel my story is one worth telling," says Zeke Wilson. "It's a story that will resonate with many people. I found myself faced with racial discrimination, like many others in that day. I struggled and fought against this, eventually triumphing for justice. My story talks about the social issues of those days, focusing particularly on the misuse of authority by both white and black government officials."
A trailer of The Eighth Round is available to watch on YouTube. It shows a number of important scenes from Wilson's remarkable boxing story and describes some of the injustices he faced, like many others in his day. It also gives a sample of some of the work he had to do in order to address the issues he faced.
The scenes available in the trailer describe the issues that were present and what Wilson did in order to address them. This is in line with the information contained in his book, The Eighth Round, which gives people practical advice and information on how they can address their own injustices. Wilson wants to demonstrate that people who have little or no education, experience or knowledge, particularly in terms of a legal framework, are still able to address any issues they may be facing.
"I was determined and I persevered, no matter what the odds were," adds Zeke Wilson. "I wasn't highly educated, I didn't always have legal representation. But I was born a fighter, and I had set myself the task of fighting for what was right. My family is bi-racial and I felt I had to speak out against injustices on both sides."
Those who are interested in the movie can watch the trailer here. There are also references to Wilson's book, which is available for purchase through The Eighth Round website. Further details on the exact release date of the movie will be made public soon.
