Born to Fight
Directed by Ala'a MohsenReleasing Jun 5 82mDocumentary
Nawres, a rebellious 23-year-old female kickboxer from Tunisia, has fought her way to the top in a traditional, male-dominated society in pursuit of an international career. But as Tunisia's political and economic turmoil worsens after Covid-19, her boxing career comes to an almost complete halt. Hoping for a better life and new opportunities, she moves to France-only to be met with the harsh realities of life as a young immigrant in Europe. Far from her homeland and family, Nawres is forced to rethink who she is and what success and freedom truly mean. Born to Fight is a story about growing up, adapting to life's unpredictability, and discovering that dreams can take new shapes-just as meaningful as the ones before.
