Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington is a 19-year-old boxer from Brownsville, Brooklyn - celebrated as home to many boxing greats, yet defined as the murder capital of New York.
As we follow Bruce's boxing journey, we simultaneously follow his family's fight for justice of his brother's death. We learn this is not just a story of an athlete's ambition but the tragic story of how families are forced to cope with the effects of gun violence in America.
“They say that boxing is a brutal sport, violence
- that is what’s brutal”
