Movie Description
PRICE OF GLORY tells the uplifting story of Arturo Ortega (Jimmy Smits), a former boxer who lost his chance at glory when a greedy promoter pushed him into the ring prematurely. Still reeling from the past disappointment, Ortega uses his experience to help guide his three sons into becoming championship boxers themselves. Through the resulting battles--personal, professional, and cultural--he confronts his past demons once and for all. Handled with extreme sensitivity by Carlos Avila, PRICE OF GLORY is aided greatly by Smits' impassioned, inspiring performance.

Industry Reviews
"...Earnest...Heartfelt..."

Sight and Sound - p.51-2 - Edward Lawrenson
"...PRICE OF GLORY wins points simply by virtue of its premise....GLORY has more going for it than that, not least of which is a powerful and nuanced performance by Jimmy Smits..."
