Fighting It is a new documentary film about four female boxers who use boxing to overcome adversity in their lives. Independent filmmaker and writer Jill Morley has worked on Fighting It for three years, literally over her own sweat and blood. Besides filmmaker, Morely was a subject in the film.

Fighting It focuses on four women – professional boxer Maureen “The Real Million Dollar Baby” Shea, 2007 Golden Gloves winner Susan Merlucci, professional boxer Kimberly Tomes and Morley herself, in her own journey to fight in the 2008 New York Golden Gloves, the biggest amateur boxing tournament in the world.

The film is making the rounds in rough cut screenings right now, and Morley is working on getting it into film festivals and trying to land a cable deal. She plans on releasing a DVD, which will be available at the Fighting It website.
