The story of struggle for recognition.The 21 year old winner of the Arab boxing championship in Algeria 2004 Faraj Darwish, who lives in Al Baqaa Palestinian camp, in Jordan in a modest house with his poor family, dreams to win an Olympic medal. "An Olympic hero will never be forgotten," Faraj says. He is banned from playing and training with the first team because in late 2006 and during an international championship in Turkey he refused to play with an Israeli player. The boxing federation in Jordan decided to ban him for life. This young boxer and his dreams are trapped in a lifetime penalty. Faraj wonders if he is going to play again or if he will even get a chance to box abroad as a pro.
