Synopsis

THE FIRE INSIDE is the inspirational true story of Claressa Shields, arguably the greatest female boxer of all time. Claressa, a high school Junior from Flint, Michigan, aided by her tough-love coach, Jason Crutchfield, pushes past all limitations to become the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing. But even at the pinnacle of success, Claressa has to reckon with the fact that not all dreams are created equal, and the real fight has only just begun.

Claressa's story is so important for female and male urban youth to see. She's unconventional and has been through so much. She deserves so much more respect and attention from the world. Congratulations on her achievement and success!!!

While it ticks all the expected boxes for a sports drama, it’s also something more.

Women’s sports owes a debt to Shields. She finally has a movie that gives her deserved flowers.
