Movie Club: The Fire Inside

Movie Club returns to look at the 2024 biopic "The Fire Inside," which tells the story of Olympic boxer Claressa Shields and her journey to winning her first Olympic gold medal at London 2012. The movie also goes beyond her first victory to show what happens when the Games are over--and unfortunately, Claressa is one of the many Olympic athletes who do not see a financial windfall after the Games.   Also on the show: News from Paris 2024 (how about those finances?!) News from Milan-Cortina 2026 (ticket lottery is coming up, and Plan B is coming together) News from TKFLASTAN   VOTE FOR US!
