Women will go to extreme lengths for those they love and single mother Samantha Rogers is no exception. Along with her young daughter, Milla, Sam struggles to make ends meet, taking her licks as a stunt double by day and cocktail waitressing at a rowdy bar at night. When Sam uses her skills to end a bar fight between two drunk women, down and out fight promoter Sonny Cool sees an opportunity to get back into the game. He tells Sam all about the "show," a high class, underground illegal all female bare knuckle fight tournament, where brutality and elegance mix with high stakes and deception. Is the price too much for her...? Bare Knuckles..... a knockout punch of strength and determination, inspired by a true story.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lead Jeanette Roxborough was a working stuntwoman who spent years doubling for actresses; this was her first and only lead role.
Released during the 2010 indie fight-film boom alongside 'Haywire' and 'Warrior,' but with a shoestring budget that makes its underground setting accidentally authentic.
