Girls of the ring

a film by
Théodore ROBICHET and Jean DUPRÉ
(54', 2003)

In the Parisian suburbs, young women are training for the French Boxing Championship. As opposed to the clichés of violence and machismo that are attached to professional boxing, “Girls of the ring” makes us see an unexpected side of this game, made of respect and brotherhood between men and women.

The film focuses on Ouria and Fatima whose femininity sets off the elegant movements of fist-fighting. Through pain, hard work and tenacity, those young female boxers are asserting themselves in a man’s world and the y do so both as women and boxers.
