Women Make Waves International Film Festival

Program

Right to Fight

Georgina CAMMALLERI 2023 UK color 89min DCP
Marian “Lady Tyger” TRIMIAR, Cathy “Cat” DAVIS, and Pat “Liberation” PINEDA come together to tell the incredible story of the birth of female competitive boxing. Before they could fight each other, the women had to battle for acceptance in a sport they were legally barred from competing in. Individual battles against sexism, racism and homophobia came to the fore, which are regaled through incredible─and frequently hilarious─first person testimony and extensive archive material.
