The cast of “The Fire Inside” reunited for the premiere of the film at the Toronto Film Festival 2024. The movie will be released on Christmas. Starring Ryan Destiny and Brian Tyree Henry and written by Barry Jenkins, “The Fire Inside” is the inspirational true story of Claressa Shields, arguably the greatest female boxer of all time. Claressa, a high school Junior from Flint, Michigan, aided by her tough-love coach, Jason Crutchfield, pushes past all limitations to become the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing. But even at the pinnacle of success, Claressa has to reckon with the fact that not all dreams are created equal, and the real fight has only just begun.
