# Glenn McCrory’s Story To Be Made Into A Biopic

Boxing Social’s Glenn McCrory and his story of becoming a world champion against all odds will be made into a feature film by an Oscar nominated team that consists of Ivan Mactaggart (*Loving Vincent)*, Tracey Adam (*The Truth About Love*) and theatre producer Karl Sydow (*Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story On Stage*).

The biopic entitled *Carrying David* will give the audience a visual insight into the story of McCrory’s adopted brother David and their path together towards Glenn’s IBF World cruiserweight championship.

*“Carrying David* *will tell the story of McCrory and his adopted brother David, who despite his muscular dystrophy coached his sibling to boxing greatness in a deprived area in the north-east of England during the Thatcher era.”*

The screenplay has been put together by Chris Hill (*Bachelor Games*, *Skins*). Production is in the early stages in terms of finance, finding a suitable director and casting.

“*Carrying David* is an epic story of triumph over adversity against incredible odds, which deserves its shot on the big screen,” said Mactaggart according to *screendaily.com*

Karl Sydow added: “It is the juxtaposition of a strong man being inspired and pushed by a wheelchair-bound invalid that attracted me to this unique project. Chris Hill’s heart-rending yet life-affirming script perfectly captures the shared struggle of two very different brothers facing up to their toughest opponents.”
