T-Rex is an intimate coming-of-age story about a new kind of American heroine. For the first time, Women's Boxing is included in the 2012 Olympics. Fighting for the gold from the U.S. is Claressa "T-Rex" Shields, the youngest competitor at just 17 years old. From the hard knock streets of Flint, Michigan, Claressa is undefeated and utterly confident. Her fierceness extends beyond the ring. She protects her family at any cost, even when their instability and addictions threaten to derail her dream.
