He was the Darling of the Depression. At a time when the Mob ruled the prize ring, Jimmy McLarnin and his manager Pop Foster stayed out of the clutches of the gunmen.
This is the story of two Irishmen who found each other on foreign shores and formed one of the great partnerships in sports - the old fairground fighter and the scrawny kid he promised to make champion of the world someday.
Theirs is an epic journey that begins in County Down and ends on the star-lined pavements of Sunset Boulevard. Along the way lie murders and organised crime; Nazis, filmstars and gangsters; glamour, gang wars and Gaelic football!
Andrew has directed The Devil's Gardens - a series on the history of landmines; The War Detectives - a history of war crimes trials, and Journeys Into Genocide - a series on the history of genocide. He recently directed a second series on war crimes investigations for the Discovery network in the United States. He is also the author of several books: The Devil's Gardens , a history of landmines, to accompany the landmines series, Occupation Prizefighter: The Freddie Welsh Story and A Bloody Canvas . A feature-length documentary based on A Bloody Canvas has been screened at film festivals in the United States and Europe, and a film to accompany Babyface Goes to Hollywood has also been completed.
