Information
It's 1905 in the racially segregated world of boxing, and Jay "The Sport" Jackson, a handsome, tough, headstrong and undeniably great boxer, dreams of being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Inspired by the life and story of Jack Johnson, The Royale, by Marco Ramirez, is a drama of the psyche that follows Jay after a money-hungry boxing promoter sparks a plan for a historic fight of the century. Suddenly, his dream seems possible..but at what cost? The Royale is a deep examination of society's relationship with history makers and the responsibilities they carry both inside and outside the ring.
