About the movie
Characters: two young men in a remote corner of Detroit; Situation: they turn fighting into a language of survival, purpose and community through a grassroots "Guns Down, Gloves Up" movement; Central conflict: confronting the complexities of violence, fatherhood and legacy. Over four years the film follows these men in an intimate portrait of resilience as they transform street fighting into organized activism while navigating responsibility and the long-term effects of violence on their lives and families.
