INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE A rousing look at the genesis of women’s boxing, with archival footage and shocking stories adding extra punch. In the 1970s, a group of pioneering pugilists sought to change the sport’s sexist bureaucracy by organizing bouts between the best female boxers of the era. The furious fists of Marian “Lady Tiger” Trimiar, Cathy “Cat” Davis, and Pat “Liberation” Pineda shattered gender barriers and laid the foundation for a generation of fighters to come. - Brandon Harrison 

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Georgina Cammalleri, producer Cassie Thornton, subject Marian "Lady Tiger" Trimiar and her aide Carmen Sosa, and cinematographer Ryan Earl Parker.


All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
