Youth unemployment and youth crime on the rise, and riots rage in London. Just off Hackney's notorious Murder Mile, the Pedro Youth Club reaches out to local kids to show that hanging around corners and drifting into crime is not their only option. The method;boxing. Under the guidance of former European champion (and now MBE) James Cook and his team of volunteers, the Pedro uses boxing not only to occupy the youths' spare time, but to teach them qualities such as self-discipline and respect. But as funding cuts and crime close in around the Pedro, will it continue its important work, or will it, like so many clubs, be allowed to fade away, leaving the youth of the community to fend for themselves?
