CHRISTY synopsis:
Sydney Sweeney delivers a tour-de-force performance as trailblazing boxer Christy Martin in CHRISTY, a fierce story of survival and self-discovery. From her early days in West Virginia “Toughwoman” contests to breaking barriers in professional boxing, Christy fights her way to the top of a male-dominated sport. But outside the ring, she faces a volatile marriage to her coach Jim Martin (Ben Foster), marked by abuse and control. Sweeney embodies Martin’s grit and vulnerability in this riveting true-life drama of self-actualization in the face of terrifying adversity.

A LINE TO DRAW synopsis:
In a poignant journey of self-discovery and environmental activism, “A Line to Draw” captures Kahana’s efforts to reconnect with his Hawaiian roots by rescuing a coral reef from a dangerous rogue fishing net, mirroring his personal struggle to reclaim his cultural identity after years away in the city.

TWISTED BRAID synopsis:
A love letter to a little town built on culture, connection, and creativity.
