Plot Summary
In the heart of Brownsville, Brooklyn, 100 or so young men and women from the surrounding housing projects gather inside a secret windowless garage. In the center is a brightly lit boxing ring stained with dried blood from a previous fight. Standing in the ring, two women dressed in regular street clothes and wearing martial arts training gloves are punching air preparing to not just fight, but brawl - bringing all of the despair and violence that surrounds their lives into the ring. No grabbing. No kicking. No scratching. No hair pulling. No biting. Three rounds. Ninety seconds a round. This is Brooklyn Girls Fight Club and the winnings are $1000 cash and invaluable street cred.

Great Doc!
I found Brooklyn Girl's Fight Club to be one of the most interesting documentaries I have seen in a very long time. I was captivated by the stories surrounding the girls that willingly step into the ring to bare-knuckle box each other in Brooklyn. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about this not-enought-talked-about aspect of society.
Top 10 docs ever made
I really enjoyed this documentary. It was amazing how it takes you into the world of these girls in Brownsville Brooklyn.
Although sad and rough, what a dynamic neighborhood and thankfully the filmmaker allowed the residents of Brownsville tell their story, without interference or a narrator.
I highly recommend this film.
