Christy Martin, often referred to as “The Coal Miner’s Daughter,” is a trailblazing figure in women’s boxing. Born in 1968 in West Virginia, she rose to prominence in the 1990s, becoming the first female boxer to gain widespread recognition and respect in a male-dominated sport. Known for her fierce determination, powerful punches, and relentless spirit, Martin held multiple world titles and was instrumental in bringing women’s boxing into the mainstream. Her career, however, was marked by intense personal struggles, including surviving a brutal attack by her then-husband.
All background extras will be compensated for their time.
Filming is scheduled to take place in Charlotte and the surrounding areas from late September to mid-November. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a powerful and inspiring story.
