Girlfight (2000) - Synopsis

Co-winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Dramatic Film at this year's Sundance Film Festival as well as a winner for Best Direction, GIRLFIGHT heralds in a new femininity for the new century. It marks the breathtaking debut of an incendiary new filmmaker (Karyn Kusama) and a ferocious new star (Michelle Rodriguez). Drenched in sweat, emotion and attitude, GIRLFIGHT is the riveting portrait of Diana, a fierce young woman who takes up boxing as a means to reconcile with her past and embrace life on her own terms.
