Kid Pambelé
Produced for RCN Televisión
A modern epic — 80 episodes chronicling the spectacular rise and fall of a Colombian icon.
Pambelé tells the story of Antonio Cervantes, a boy from the streets of Cartagena who punched his way to global fame as the Welterweight Champion of the World. Charismatic, complicated, and unforgettable, his life is etched into the Latin American consciousness as both triumph and cautionary tale.
Set in the explosive 1970s and inspired by real events, the series explores the thin line between glory and self-destruction. In the ring, Cervantes was an unstoppable force; outside it, he wrestled with addiction, fame, and the fragile machinery of celebrity. Told with depth and humanity, Pambelé captures the contradictions of a man who became both a national hero and a public tragedy.
Shot on location and steeped in the region’s rich culture, the series offers a lens into identity, legacy, and the price of greatness.
