This text seems to be littered with mistakes. I am pretty sure that "n" has been missed out and it should be "sin duda". Can anyone confirm? Also "transfondo" should be "trasfondo".
Also, this doesn't seem like a proper sentence to me. Can anyone confirm?
Si duda, la verdadera historia y el transfondo real y social, que se esconde tras los mítos de Rocky, One Million Dollar baby o Cinderlla Man, para que no nos acabemos quedando con un concepto equivocado de las cosas.
Draft: Without doubt, the true story and the real, social background, which are hidden behind the myths of Rocky, One Million Dollar Baby or Cinderella Man, so that we don’t end up with a false impression of things.

Undoubtedly ... MILLION Dollar ...
I have one true correction and some suggestions. The film title is "Million Dollar Baby". It isn't a sentence, so if you have some leeway to fix the writing, perhaps:
Undoubtedly, we need to see the the true story, and the reality and social background, that are hidden by [the movies], so that we do not end up with false notion of the way things are.

Typo corrections: see the true and "with A false notion" (off to get more coffee!)

sin duda... and... I suspect that "y el transfondo" should be "es el transfondo"...
and, I believe the titel is "Million Dollar Baby", not "One Million Dollar Baby"... so I suggest:
Without a doubt, the true story [is] the real social background hidden behind the myths of Rocky, Million Dollar Baby or Cinderella Man, so we shouldn't end up with a false impression of things.
If that's taking too much liberty, then go with
Without a doubt, the true story and the real social background, which are hidden behind the myths of Rocky, Million Dollar Baby or Cinderella Man, so that we don’t end up with a false impression of things
