When The Bell Rings

About This Movie

When The Bell Rings is one of those documentaries that really digs into the grit of a man's life. You’ve got David 'Dino' Wells, a former boxer, trying to step back into the ring at 40. It’s not just about the physicality of boxing; it nails the emotional struggles that come with grappling past demons—his fatherless upbringing really adds depth to his journey. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but it gives you space to breathe in the weight of his experiences. You feel the intensity of his training and the toll it takes on him, both physically and mentally. The rawness of the footage and the moments of vulnerability make this a distinctive look at redemption through sport.
