The GAFF presents short documentary film, Knuck & Knuckle. Lee Reeves' story is a gripping tale of how a young Limerick man uses his love of boxing to overcome the pain of losing his mother to suicide. Having turned his grief into an energy that became his route to recovery and survival, Reeves is now a keen advocate for boxing and sport, as tools for positive mental health for young men, particularly those from the Irish Traveller community where suicide rates are seven times higher than average. Winner of Best Documentary Short at Catalyst Film Festival
