Dear Danny

On the Fringes of Boxing


Director: Daniel Fazio

Producer: Joshua Brown

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

(Currently in Post-Production)


“Dear Danny” is a documentary that charts the journey of trans man Danny Baker to become the first ever transgender boxer in the UK to fight CIS men.


Danny has overcome a difficult childhood that led to a life of crime, with his early adult years shaped by several stints in women’s prison. Transitioning and finding boxing has given him a sense of purpose, identity and community.


As the world of boxing opens up a new competing category for trans fighters, will Danny have what it takes to go the distance, and what would it mean for trans youth watching on?


Danny is a charismatic character who shatters every stereotype about what a trans person represents, immersed in a milieu where one would least expect to find a member of the LBGT community.


The support characters who make up Danny's world bring with them an authenticity and down to earth sense of humour able to engage traditionally hesitant audiences with a topic and section of society that is still, often, pushed to the fringe.
