The film offers a stylized portrait of Bedouin boxer Reem Al Shammary, driven by a desire to achieve Olympic qualification and inspire a new generation of women to fight against gender inequality in Jordan.
The struggle, which continues, for women's liberation from the subtle and not-so-subtle forms of machismo, takes on new and creative forms.
