One day, he is mugged and humiliated by a gang of thugs led by Kalule, a delinquent from his neighborhood. This event infuriates his son as much for Jorge’s meek acceptance as for the act itself.

The authorities do nothing, so Jorge decides to take matters into his own hands.
Jens Pulver: Driven
DRIVEN is a film about a universal human struggle, transcending loss, and overcoming hardship through the many fights we all share in our pursuit of greatness. It is, poignantly, a film about one man's drive, in an increasingly dire American psyche, to overcome the most trenchant of odds, and redefine his fate in a quest to provide a more solid future for self and family than his own meager inheritances would have allowed. Jens Pulver's story is everyone's story. And it is why Jens Pulver is so loved by fight fans around the world.
