- Summary:
- "Taft High School, the South Bronx. It's known for being the first High School in the country to have metal detectors but a group of pioneering women on the school's wrestling team are looking to change that legacy and their lives. Shirley wants a college scholarship, Nyasia wants to get in shape, Mariam is juggling studies and sports, and Alba is a recent immigrant looking for a home. Shot over the course of two plus years, the film weaves together practices, matches, and "at home" footage to create an intimate portrait of four young women, and a team, struggling to overcome the daily challenges around them.
