Fight Like A Girl Safi has been kidnapped from her village by a rebel group and forced to work in an illegal mineral mine. But after two years, she makes a harrowing escape from her captors, and treks for six days through the east Congolese jungle, to the border city of Goma in search of a new life. Safi finds herself living on the unfriendly streets of Goma selling sambaza for a local fisherman. One night after deftly fending off an attacker with a ferocious punch, she catches the eye of the legendary boxing champ who takes her under his wing and brings her into his club where he is teaching a ragtag group of female boxers. Seeing fighting as a way to get out of the poverty and violence that grips her country, she signs up for the team… but soon discovers that there is more to boxing than being able to throw a powerful punch… … and maybe there is more to life than simply surviving. Based on a true story. Executive Producers and Jackson locals Rebecca White and Kent Spence will be in attendance. A Q&A will follow the film with Fight Like A Girl Producers and Filmmakers.
