Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, little six-year-old Peekay learns one day that small can beat big. He resolves to take on the injustices of his country and sets his heart on becoming the welterweight champion of the world.
n 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and conceives heroic dreams, which are nothing compared to what life actually has in store for him. He embarks on an epic journey through a land of tribal superstition and modern prejudice where he will learn the power of words, the power to transform lives and the power of one.
