Orthodox Stance

"Orthodox Stance" is a boxing term for the traditional (right-handed) boxing stance, as opposed to the southpaw (left-handed) boxing stance. A boxer is described as fighting "orthodox" or "southpaw" in the same way that a baseball player pitches and/or bats right or left handed.

The film was produced in association with Cactus 3 Films and BBC Storyville. It received finishing funds from the National Foundation for Jewish Culture's Fund for Jewish Documentary Filmmaking and was awarded a Brooklyn Community Arts Grant.
