Fighting
Some dreams are worth the fight.
Directed by Dito Montiel
Produced by Rogue Pictures, Relativity Media
A gritty urban underdog story about a street fighter's rise through an underground fighting circuit, balancing ambition with moral compromise.
Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership.
