Written by Barry Jenkins and directed by Rachel Morrison, The Fire Inside is the inspirational true story of Claressa Shields, played by Ryan Destiny. She’s arguably the greatest female boxer of all time.

Claressa, a high school Junior from Flint, Michigan, aided by her tough-love coach, Jason Crutchfield, played by Brian Tyree Henry, pushes past all limitations to become the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing.

But even at the pinnacle of success, Claressa has to reckon with the fact that not all dreams are created equal, and the real fight has only just begun.
