STILL I RISE

Set in the heart of a disadvantaged neighbourhood, STILL I RISE tells the rough-and-tumble story of Maxime Salomon, a policewoman who decides to take four troubled young adults under her wing. She introduces them to Mixed Martial Arts hoping to give them a fighting chance at keeping their crime sheets clean. The idea does not meet with the unanimous approval of her law enforcement colleagues and could cost her dearly. Can fighting fire with fire finally put a stop to a vicious cycle of violence when young adults are caught up in it for far too long?
