De l’ombre à la lumière

During the Great Depression* a common-man hero* James J. Braddock--a.k.a. the Cinderella Man--was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. By the early 1930s* the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down* beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the American populace who had hit rock bottom. His career appeared to be finished* he was unable to pay the bills* the only thing that mattered to him--his family--was in danger* and he was even forced to go on Public Relief. But deep inside* Jim Braddock never relinquished his determination. Driven by love* honor and an incredible dose of grit* he willed an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to help his family* Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had a shot. However Braddock* fueled by something beyond mere competition* kept winning. Suddenly* the ordinary working man became the mythic athlete. Carrying the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised on his shoulders* Braddock rocketed through the ranks* until this underdog chose to do the unthinkable: take on the heavyweight champ of the world* the unstoppable Max Baer* renowned for having killed two men in the ring.
