After losing his boxing title in a controversial fixed bout, Panama Al Brown moves to 1930s Paris. There, he reinvents himself as a cabaret performer and catches the attention of avant-garde poet Jean Cocteau, who becomes both his manager and lover. Struggling with addiction and societal pressures, Brown is persuaded to return to the ring to reclaim his legacy. Against the backdrop of racism, homophobia, and artistic ambition, Brown is a true story, that chronicles the journey of the first Latin American boxing champion as he fights—not just for a belt, but for his identity and place in a prejudiced world.
