It tells the inspiring, true story of Claressa Shields, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the most accomplished female boxers in history. Directed by Rachel Morrison, the film portrays Claressa's challenging journey from her high school days in Flint, Michigan, to her victory as the first American woman to secure an Olympic gold medal in boxing.
The narrative centers on Claressa’s determination,
guided by her tough-love coach Jason Crutchfield, who helps her overcome the many obstacles in her path. Despite reaching the pinnacle of success, Claressa must come to terms with the harsh reality that her battles are far from over, as she confronts the complexities of race, gender, and identity in the world of sports.
Written by Barry Jenkins,
the film features powerful performances by Ryan Destiny as Claressa Shields and Brian Tyree Henry in the role of her coach. The movie delves deeply into both the personal and professional struggles of an athlete who rises above adversity to redefine the boundaries of success.
The film’s PG-13 rating indicates the presence of strong language,
thematic elements, and brief suggestive material, positioning it as an accessible yet thought-provoking story about resilience and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams.

The Fire Inside is set to be a heartfelt drama that celebrates the power of sports, perseverance, and the pursuit of one's true potential, making it an important addition to the genre of biographical sports films. (Amazon MGM Studios)
