BRUISED Red Carpet Premieres 2021

BRUISED

World Premiere

There will be a post-screening conversation with Halle Berry (Director/Actor) moderated by filmmaker Ava DuVernay.

Jackie Justice (Halle Berry) is a mixed martial arts fighter who leaves the sport in disgrace. Down on her luck and simmering with rage and regret years after her fight, she’s coaxed into a brutal underground fight by her manager and boyfriend Desi and grabs the attention of a fight league promoter who promises Jackie a life back in the octagon. But the road to redemption becomes unexpectedly personal when Manny— the son she gave up as an infant — shows up at her doorstep.

Marking the directorial debut of Academy Award® winner Halle Berry, BRUISED is a triumphant story of a fighter who reclaims her power, in and out of the ring, when everyone has counted her out.

Halle Berry makes her highly anticipated directorial debut in BRUISED, a film in which she also stars as the disgraced MMA fighter Jackie Justice. Berry’s career has spanned over three decades. She’s the first and only Black woman to win the Academy Award® for Best Actress for her performance in MONSTER’S BALL.
