Christy
Director: David Michôd
Screenplay by: Mirrah Foulkes & David Michôd
Story by: Katherine Fugate
Fueled by determination and an unrelenting will to win, Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) explodes from her small-town West Virginia roots into the world of professional boxing. Under the guidance of trainer Jim (Ben Foster), she becomes a champion, commanding a fiery persona inside the ring. But outside of it, her life begins to unravel as she confronts her family, her identity, and a relationship that turns violent and life-threatening.
Based on remarkable true events, Christy is a rare sports film with a queer real-life figure at its center — a gripping story of resilience, courage, and the fight to reclaim one’s life against all odds.
NewFest is New York’s largest presenter of LGBTQ+ film & media and the largest convener of queer audiences in the city. Our mission is to give voice and visibility to the wide scope of LGBTQ+ experiences through films and programs that entertain, educate, and empower.
