Montreal Film Review: 'White Panther' Danni Reisfeld's film about a young man's attempts to rise above his crime-ridden ghetto life is rough, formulaic but effective.

"White Panther" is the story of Alex (Yevgeny Orlov), a young Russian immigrant, whose family falls apart after his father dies while serving in the Israeli army. In retaliation Alex joins a skinhead gang led by his older brother.
An unexpected meeting with David (Ze'ev Revach), a Moroccan Jew, gives Alex a chance to pursue his longtime dream of becoming a boxer like his father.
Alex finds himself torn between his two father figures – the violent older brother and the new Jewish trainer – until he finds out the truth about those he so admires.
