In addition to the natural beauty of wildlife and waters such as the
Nile, Uganda also known as the Pearl of Africa, is hiding neglected
sport talents living under the poorest conditions.

This capture is part of a long term project in the slums of Kampala
young female trying to survive unter extreme conditions. In this
maze, a group of ambitious female fighters are trying to reach for
a better life.

They box for life, a better life, full of dreams and expectations,
trying to feed themselves and their families, trying to achieve local
and international recognition and appreciation. But as so often,
many promises have been made and only little happened.
