Satria fights in a boxing tournament, but is knocked out by his opponent. He can’t pay his son’s surgery fees with the money he earns as a gardener, and his wife returns her parents to bring up their son alone. In a bar, Satria meets Ellyas, once a famous boxer whose name is now forgotten. Ellyas agrees to train Satria for a tournament for a share in the prize money. When Satria’s son becomes ill, his wife attacks the surgeons who will not operate without being paid. This match is Satria’s opportunity to get the prize for his son’s surgery.

RASY Production was founded in 2010 by Rina Harahap in Indonesia. RASY Production specializes in profile video, music video, presentation video and feature film. RASY Production has produced 9 profile video, 2 short films and this year on progress script development The Real Champion.

I want to make this film because it will give me a mirror to reflect the reality facing Indonesians – having to fight to achieve our dream, with hard work and struggle. This film aims to reveal if you have desire or aspiration, you must take a risk and hard work for its realization and to make it happen. This film portrays the economic problems and limited access to health for a poor people in Indonesia. Our main character, Satria, cannot pay hospital fees, and he therefore cannot bring his son for a much needed operation. He has to face the reality that he cannot earn enough to cover the basic needs his family. His dreams to be a Real Champion, must now made concrete. He has to face realty full on.
