Gensan Punch is inspired by the true story of Naozumi Tsuchiyama
HBO Asia Original Film GENSAN PUNCH, which is inspired by the true story of Naozumi Tsuchiyama, who defies the odds to become a professional boxer, squares off exclusively on HBO GO from December 16, 2021.
The film centers around Nao, a Japanese man who dreams of becoming a professional boxer. While his skills may be undeniable, his prosthetic leg leads him to fail “physical condition regulations” – rendering him unable to fight professionally. Undeterred, Nao sets off on a journey to the Philippines, where the road to pursing his dream takes him to the so-called Gensan Quarter of General Santos City – a place long renowned for producing athletes including legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao.
GENSAN PUNCH was one of two winners of the prestigious Kim Jiseok Award handed out at the 26th Busan International Film Festival held in October. The award was given to films reflecting the contemporary standing of Asian cinema. The film also screened at the “Gala Selection (Non-Competition) of the 34th Tokyo International Film Festival which ran from October 30 to November 8, 2021.
