Float Like A Butterfly

15-year-old Frances has to fight for the right to fight back. Raised in roadside camps in rural Ireland, Frances wants to champion her people inside the boxing ring and out, like her idol Muhammad Ali. But society is determined to break her spirit and destroy her way of life. And her father, once her greatest ally, is too defeated himself to imagine any better for his daughter. In the mother of all fights, she must dig deep to find in herself the Champion her father once knew her to be.

My take

A raw, unflinching portrait of a girl fighting for dignity against impossible odds. This is cinema about resilience born from necessity—intimate, urgent, and deeply human. Perfect for viewers who want stories that matter.
