Fighting for Freedom

Available for over a year

This week's second helping from the Socially Distant Sports Bar with Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero is another fascinating documentary choice. It's Steff's pick and tells the interesting and sometimes moving story of Filal Bawaz, current British and Commonwealth Super Welterweight Champion. "Fight For Freedom documents his inability to fight outside of Britain because he has never been able to hold a passport. Elis has picked the "Book of the Week" which is another one to add to your cycling collection. It's "Domestique" by Charlie Wigelius. The book explores the life of a "domestique", a rider who sacrifices his own personal glory and ambitions to support the team leader and secure team victories.
