Lioness: The Nicola Adams Story (2022)
Nicola Adams: the first woman to win an Olympic Gold medal for boxing, a notably rare LGBT sports figure, and Great Britain’s most successful female boxer of all time. A hybrid of personal archives, sports footage, interviews with sports stars and those who know her best, this film stands as a triumphant testament to the power of grit and determination. It is the story of Nicola’s refusal to be bound by limitations, overcoming disadvantage, injury and defeat to become a true champion in every sense of the word.
