Tell Your Senator: Don't Claw Back Public Media Funding
Muslim Youth Voices

The Mental Game

Season 1 Episode 22 | 13m 29s

“It takes more than just strength to be a fighter,” says 14-year-old Abdullah Davis. “You have to have a certain level of heart to do the sport.” Abdullah and his older brother Muhammad train and compete in martial arts. In this documentary, the two boys and their grandfather Bill, a Vietnam War veteran, contemplate the mental perseverance it takes to succeed in a fight — and in life.
