Surviving discrimination and violence in Turkey’s poor southeast, Evin, 15, trains to be a top international wrestler and support her Kurdish family of 13. One of 150,000 girls in Turkey who choose fighting a path to university and independence, she is one fight away from a title all her own.
Following a wrestler’s life closely, this observational documentary reveals how sports are a crucial path of independence for many young women living in a patriarchal society. Evin’s relentless pursuit of her passion is inspirational, as is the film’s anti-melodramatic approach to its subjects.
