“The Fire Inside” is the inspirational true story of Claressa Shields, arguably the greatest female boxer of all time.

Ryan Destiny plays Shields, a high school Junior from Flint, Mich., U.S.A., who is aided by her tough-love coach, Jason Crutchfield, played by Brian Tyree Henry.

In the movie, Shields pushes past all limitations to become the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing.

But even at the pinnacle of success, Shields has to reckon with the fact that not all dreams are created equal, and the real fight has only just begun.

Director Rachel Morrison says:

Claressa Shields’ story is a story of resilience and overcoming obstacles time and time again.

Destiny’s maternal grandmother is of Irish ancestry, while the rest of her family is black. Henry’s father served three U.S. military tours in Vietnam.

“The Fire Inside” opens in theaters on Christmas Day. Check out the trailer below.
