About
T-Rex is a documentary that follows the journey of Claressa Shields, a young African American boxer from Flint, Michigan, as she works toward her dream of becoming an Olympic champion. The film highlights the challenges she faces growing up, including poverty, family struggles, gender inequality, and the pressure to succeed.
