MISFIT - A SHORT DOCUMENTARY

This project was Completed in April 2023,

 

My short documentary ‘Misfit – Never Meant to Be’ ventured into unexpected territory. Originally intended to capture the excitement of my roommate’s second amateur boxing match at a major Texas A&M event, the night evolved into something far more profound. What began as a thrilling sports night quickly descended into a shocking display of racism and hate speech against a promising young athlete.

 

Driven by the raw and unsettling events of that evening, I felt compelled to shed light on the darker, often hidden aspects of sporting events. The film, crafted from clips shared by friends and family, exposes the harsh realities that can lurk behind competitive scenes. ‘Misfit – Never Meant to Be’ is more than a documentary; it’s a call to action, urging awareness and change to prevent such injustices in the future.

Since the official premiere of this project, Tarek’s Boxing Gym, Texas A&M, and numerous others have reached out to commend my work and encourage its continuation throughout Tarek’s future boxing career.
