Plot : Risen is a deeply inspirational tale of a young man, who rose above all roadblocks to achieve his dream. Howard Winstone’s name is etched forever in history, not just for the fact that he was the world featherweight champion, but because of the odds that he broke against, to attain the same. Howard bagged the title at the age of 29 in 1968, leaving onlookers dumbfounded with his willpower. The man had always aspired to make it to the top of the weightlifting circles, but found all his dreams shattered, when he met with a horrific accident. The industrial accident robbed Howard of his most prized possession - his fist, which was pivotal to his career. He lost three fingers of his right hand, disabling him from closing his hand into a fist, thus threatening to put an end to his career. But the man didn’t lose hope, and left the world flabbergasted, as he devised a new technique of boxing, and inched his way to the top of the world of weights. Emerging as an overnight hero, Howard garnered a huge fan base, and went on to become the champion of Britain, and then of Europe, soon after. However, his most monumental victory was that of the world championship, which made millions look up to him as an inspiration. Starring Stuart Brennan in the lead role, ‘Risen’ chronicles Howard’s journey, right from his wide-eyed dreams as a young boy, to the devastating accident, and finally the courage to overcome it, which led to his greatest victory ever! The fact that he won the championship in his fourth attempt, which was supposed to be his final one, goes on to make this story a truly inspirational one.
