Prelude to a fight
Description
Do we all have a reason to believe in our own success? If so, what determines that some succeed while others do not? 'Prelude To a Fight' is the story of two ambitious women, an African-American boxer and a Korean-American classical pianist; both pursue the same dream of succeeding. In Brooklyn 'Fire' McLeod fights to become a successful professional female boxer. Relying on her talent she struggles to make herself a better life, overcoming a childhood that has left her wounded, hurt and lonely. Soyeon, a brilliantly talented classical pianist, has all the means required to pursue her dream of success in classical music. From her carefree childhood in Korea to the rural United States she never loses sight of the goal of becoming the best. Though coming from two different worlds, seemingly far apart, their personal aspirations, their biggest dreams and their greatest fears are surprisingly similar.
