Last night (at midnight no less) I saw the documentary "Knuckle" - a look inside the violent tradition of bare-knuckled boxing among the Travellers clans of Ireland. A royal family feud that has lasted more than 40 years still reigns supreme, prompting regular, brutal bouts between families, particularly the Quinn-McDonoughs and the Joyce's - most of whom are cousins ... and few seem to remember how the feud began. Brutal, but hard to look away.
HBO picked it up and plans to turn it into a TV series. Hopefully the doc itself will have a festival life.
Stay tuned!
