(AUG 1) On Saturday, August
3, 2013 at 1:30 p.m., at the Hamilton Theater, 7 Lebanon St., in
Hamilton, New York, there will be a screening of Fight Like a
Girl. The Documentary is an empowering story of four
women who battle their personal demons through competitive
boxing and find success in and out of the ring.
Why would a woman step into the
ring, don the gloves and risk her life in front of a blood
hungry crowd? In a gritty, first-person narrative shot over a
period of five years, award winning 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, Morley discovers that there’s a common
thread in each of their stories. Revealing each fighter’s
emotional history and personal trauma, the film provides an
uncensored window into the lives of four powerful complicated
women overcoming adversity in a violent sport.
Their FREE BOXING CLINIC FOR
GIRLS will be at 11:00 a.m. at the Pavillion across from the
Colgate Inn.
