YDC comes face to face with The Contender

In early September participants from ICE’s Youth Digital Cultures program were invited onto the set of the boxing reality TV show ‘The Contender’ at Sydney Olympic Park.

The group of nine participants enjoyed a face-to-face meet up with both Fox8 Executive Producer Lara Hopkins and Australian actor Daniel Amalm. They then got a tour of the set and learned a little about the making of an international production.

‘The Contender’ is a series following 16 aspiring boxers from training camp to boxing matches until one remains to claim the prize money of $1,000,000.
