Black Mamba (2017)

Между первым и последним ударом боксерского гонга — или нокаут, или пояс чемпиона. Помни, ради чего ты выходишь на ринг. Отныне твой мир имеет форму квадрата, и в этом мире есть свои правила и условия. Условие первое — стремление. Нет воли — нет результата. Второе — верность. Всегда будь предана боксу. Отдай ему все: свое время, свое счастье, всю себя. И, самое главное, не жди пощады. На ринге тебя никто не будет жалеть, и ты никого не жалей… Реальная история пятикратной чемпионки мира по боксу, живой легенды, известной миру как Мэри Ком.

A grumpy boxing coach takes on a young, rebellious woman under his wings and starts training her for the world championship. But their biggest battle has to be fought outside the ring.

This documentary deals with the stories, achievements and difficulties of women boxers and footballers. Their stories are told from the point of view of their daily lives where sport, family live and relationships intermingle in a complex and often contradictory whole. All these women share the desire to triumph in sports normally considered to be men´s sports. Some of them pursue their dream while working at other jobs such as driving taxis, selling tacos or being lawyers. They are not women victims, trapped in the family or in marriage; for the simple reason that they are still fighting, they have not accepted defeat. This documentary looks at the feminine aspect of these sports and the unfairness that there is.
