TIGER - Movie Review

Pardeep Singh Nagra was a boxer. Well, more than that actually.

Tiger is a movie based on the true story of Pardeep Singh Nagra. Pardeep was born and raised in Canada. He faced lots of discrimination because of his faith and culture. He was raised by his aunt and uncle because his parents moved to India.

In the movie, Pardeep had lots of rage and anger. That's how he became a boxer. He let out all his anger with each punch. The boxing club that he attended was filled with racists. He got better day by day with practise and support from his coach and soon from his fellow boxers.

The problem soon arose. The ABC (American Boxing Commission) didn't approve of Pardeep boxing. It was because he had a beard and the rules say the boxer must be clean shaved. Pardeep and his lawyer fought until he was allowed to box. But did it work? Watch the movie to find out!

I can relate to the movie. I have witnessed and faced racism countless times. I think that what Pardeep did really motivate me to speak for what is wrong. I think that people need to know about his story. What he did was astounding and significant.

I would rate this movie a 3.5/5. It was a marvellous movie from the fighting for rights perspective. It showed how you should stand up for something that is wrong. Something that didn't make sense was that Pardeep is actually a Canadian, but the movie took place in America.

Upper Surrey Street ambushing lower Surrey Street kids If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy.

Meeting a Member of The LGBTQ Community May Not Be Possible In The United States

Gender is how society defines if your a boy or a girl. It’s different from being biologically male or female. But in the United States, it might soon mean the same. On Monday, October 22nd the Trump administration wants to change the definition of gender. Lots of people spoke out to this memo, including Diana Flynn who is one of the leaders at Lambda Legal.
