Women’s boxing is immensely popular across the globe, but this rich territory is still waiting for its TV adaptation. In the binary Rocky formula, we have the well-worn protagonist vs antagonist trope, but here both opponents are equally complex characters worth rooting for. We show two strong but opposed young women, who find validation in each other, despite the world around them striving to keep them apart. Through exploring the worlds of young women in Germany’s Turkish and working-class communities, we will showcase lives that are still woefully underrepresented. Our protagonists are convincing athletes, girls who can pack a punch, unlike anything you’ve seen on screen before. This is a chance to take a well-loved genre and turn it on its head, challenging stereotypes of feminism and beauty, providing a modern, stylized, female-skewed rollercoaster ride between action and emotion, resonating with young adult audiences across Europe.
