The Golden Boy

Synopsis

Executive produced by Mark Wahlberg's Unrealistic Ideas (HBO's McMillion$) and Mario Lopez, The Golden Boy is a candid portrait of the legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya, who, by the age of 19, was an Olympic gold medalist, a multi-world title-winning professional boxer, and a role model to the Mexican-American community in East Los Angeles. Yet, all was not what it appeared behind that polished façade. Told in De La Hoya's own words through a series of candid interviews with him and those closest to him, and featuring rare archival footage, the two-part documentary peels back the layers of this celebrated yet complicated figure, exploring his triumphs and turmoil to reveal a man struggling to come to terms with lifelong demons and the impossible burden of a nickname he couldn't live up to.
