Cuba is a boxing power. It boasts more Olympic gold titles for boxing than any other country. However, no woman has won a medal under the Cuban flag. Women are banned from competing. The film captures the tireless battle of Namibia Flores Rodriguez, the only known female boxer in the Caribbean nation. Training at Havana's Rafael Trejo arena in defiance of the ban, Namibia undertakes the same unrelenting regime as her male counterparts. The difference is that Namibia trains without the hope that she might one day represent her country. A moving documentary about Namibia Flores Rodriguez leading her own revolution, in a relentless fight to allow women to compete at a professional level in the boxing ring. (Warsaw Film Festival)
