Summary

"The Fire Inside" had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Rachel Morrison's direction, Barry Jenkins's screenplay, and the performances from Ryan Destiny and Brian Tyree Henry. The film is about the early boxing career of Claressa "T-Rex" Shields, a fighter from Flint, Michigan, including her competing at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and it's evident a ton of heart and hard work was put into making this film. Morrison, Destiny, and Tyree Henry were all kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Amazon MGM Studios and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories.
