Manny

Manny traces the astonishing journey of Manny Pacquiao, who rose from abject poverty in the Philippines to become a ten-time world boxing champion and a global sporting icon. Filmed with intimate access, the movie follows his early days entering the ring as a sixteen-year-old weighing ninety-eight pounds, the fierce dedication that made an entire nation pause for his fights, and the personal sacrifices behind his public persona.

As Pacquiao transitions into politics as a congressman, the film explores the tension between his role as a unifying national figure and the compromises demanded by an often unscrupulous sport and volatile political arena. At the height of his career, Manny must navigate ethical dilemmas, shifting loyalties, and the question of how far he is willing to go for his people and his own legacy.
