It's My Medicine - The Story of Monkstown Boxing Club

It’s my medicine - the story of Monkstown Boxing Club is a short film about community spirit triumphing over drugs, decay and despair. It tells the story of a Dublin amateur boxing club, from its birth in two abandoned and derelict local authority flats in 2004 to its rise to become Ireland’s most successful amateur club in 2016, and the host of one of Europe’s largest amateur boxing tournaments in 2018.
'It’s my medicine' refers to one coaches’ view of how the club helps him personally. But it’s also a metaphor for how the formation of this club and other community resources, acted as a cure for some of the social and economic ills that blighted this Dún Laoghaire community in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
'It’s my medicine' is a story of dedication, commitment, pride and passion from a team of volunteers, parents and club members.
