Synopsis

A look at the life and career of Ultimate Fighting Champion’s welterweight world champ, Quebecer Georges St-Pierre, also known as "GSP." A former bouncer and garbage collector, St-Pierre began learning martial arts when he was bullied at school.

The film takes the brutal violence of ultimate fighting and turns it into visual poetry, to convey St-Pierre's state of mind. Animated scenes are used to reflect the philosophy of St-Pierre, a master strategist who lives for the violence that his sport brings to those who have blood lust.
