Christian Zyp interviews Guillaume Carlier (dir/screenwriter) about the documentary THUNDER - THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ARTURO GATTI. It makes its world premier at the Calgary Underground Film Festival Apr 29th at the Globe Cinema.

THUNDER: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ARTURO GATTI examines the Montreal boxer, and world champion. He was a legend in his time, but his mysterious death has remained suspiciously unresolved for years. This documentary series explores forensic evidence that has been overlooked, and uncovers a new narrative about Arturo that will change everything. Arturo Gatti’s name still echoes in the streets of Montréal. For many, his name represents the glory of modern boxing. But for others, he is a reminder of a murder gone unpunished. Officially, Arturo’s death was ruled as a suicide: he was found allegedly hung by the purse strap of his wife, Amanda Rodrigues. More than 10 years later, the cloud of murder still hangs over the story.
