    • Synopsis
    • Summer 2006 in Kinshasa. Martini, Jeannette, Hélène and Rosette spar everyday with Coach Judex in
      the old stadium Tata Rafael, where in 1974 Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the most legendary
      match in the history of boxing. At dawn, thousands of people from the ghetto come to train here and political
      parties rally. In parallel to the fight for the Presidency of Congo (DRC), Judex struggles to organise a woman’s
      boxing tournament with little money… Kinshasa sings, Kinshasa starves and Judex’s girls manage to survive,
      with no illusion still full of hope. A film about women in a country where men have become crazy. A film
      overflowing with energy, life and humour in a place where death and misery roam.
