Aideen, a young teenager, takes on the brutal sport of boxing to prove to herself, an intense coach and everyone around her that she can be the next Fighting Irish.
The film was made by a group of young people on the National Film and Television Schools BFI Film Academy. Each student was carefully selected for each role and once on the course and the shooting script was locked, they had 11 days to do pre-production, shoot and edit their films. Each film premiered to a packed out audience at the BFI Southbank in London.
