Stoked Up In Stoke w/t (1 x 60′) – Follows three cage fighters and their coach as they prepare for a Cage Fighting contest, Night Of The Gladiators, in Stoke-on-Trent. All relative newcomers to the sport, the three fighters will be fighting in the ‘white collar’ category, designed to open up the sport to young men from more ordinary backgrounds, rather than just the pro or semi-pro fighters. The documentary also looks into the personal lives of the fighters and discovers that Cage Fighting has played a hugely positive role in their lives, helping them overcome troubled circumstances such as alcoholism, violent crime, drugs, poverty, unemployment, domestic abuse and obesity, in order to turn their lives around.
