| Summary |
Whether in a boxing ring or hospital, Devonne Canady has always been a fighter, either as the underdog or for the underdog. In this Justin Ervin directed documentary, we follow the former. Watch Devonne, an Olympic boxing gold medalist/pediatric nurse/boxing coach as she mentors two inner city teenagers, Emily and Zaneta, through her non-profit gym Elephant in the Room Boxing Club. Issues arise when one of the teen's absence from the boxing gym and from school is attributed to her growing personal demons. This passion to fight for others prompts Devonne to help get the troubled teen back on the right track and eventually face the elephant in the room. |
