Macho : The Hector Camacho Story (2020)



Made for Showtime, airing December 4th in the US.
The story: Hector Camacho didn't have an easy life.
The only son to a young, eventually single mother, living in Spanish Harlem, Hector had massive amounts of energy that got him into trouble at every turn.
But when his mother finally suggested that he take his energy to the local gym, things took off.
Soon Hector was boxing. 
A dedicated and hard-working athlete, Hector rose to the top of the boxing world, known for his fast moves and flamboyant style, he became a hero in his hometown.
Drugs were always something he struggled with but time and time again, he overcame his addiction, reinventing himself the best he could.
But he was always seen falling back.
After some time out of the ring due to his last few lost matches, some boxing motivated peers saw to his retraining for a comeback, although Hector went along he eventually vowed out.
Instead of a boxing comeback, Hector went on to live a fast laned lifestyle that ended with his death.
