Aspiring boxer Chris (handsome and hunky Parker Little) lives in his father Sammy’s (Director David Cook) shadow, a former champ haunted by his wife’s death. Sammy pushes Chris toward the boxing dream he never fulfilled. But as Chris embraces his attraction to Jamie and spends more time with theatre gays than in the gym, he realizes his true path may lie elsewhere. With Heart of the Man, a sentimental family drama, David Cook aims to highlight the underrepresentation of queer Indigenous stories on screen, crafting a heartfelt narrative of self-discovery, acceptance, and breaking free from generational expectations.
