When Sylvester Stallone released his film Rocky in 1976, he had no idea the impact it would have on two Canadian kids.

Jamie Pagendam spent his whole youth striving for athletic excellence. His competitive drive, and a desire to follow in his older brother Steve's footsteps, lead him to the brutal sport of boxing. Despite the trials Jamie faced in both boxing and life, his determination, tenacity and self confidence carried him to a spot at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. This set the stage for one of the biggest controversies in Olympic sports history. Although the demons from that day have often haunted Jamie during his adult life, he is ready for his story to be told and to share about the light that can be found at the end of the darkest tunnels.

This is the story of the undefeated Olympic boxer, with no medals to show for it.
