In a gritty, first-person narrative that was shot over a period of five years, filmmaker Jill Morley delves inside the little-known world of female boxers to meet the women who are passionate about fighting hard. She gets pulled into this culture as she trains for the New York Golden Gloves. From world champions to amateurs training for local tournaments, Jill discovers they all have a lot in common. The real emotional history, and traumas bubble up fleshing out a compelling story about women overcoming adversity; suicide, abuse, sexism, depression, and racism.
