Le Champion is a feature documentary about poverty and prejudice, determination and boxing. The story begins and ends in Africa, as Sakio Bika searches for love, acceptance and a championship.

Le Champion is one of the most ambitious sporting documentaries in Australian history. Filmed across four continents, it is an African boxing story with the rhythm and romance of When We Were Kings and is also much more than just a sports film. It is the story of a man fighting out of poverty and battling against prejudice, while relentlessly dedicating himself to achieving the implausible. The magnificent journey of Sakio Bika is documented in the tones of Sam Neill with a chorus of boxing's greatest stars.
