Synopsis
In a remote corner of Detroit, two young men set out to uplift their worlds in the only way they know: fighting. Over the course of 4 years, the journeys of Dwane and D-Mike immerse us in their grassroots Guns Down, Gloves Up street-fighting movement. As these paths confront the complexities of family, mentorship, and being remembered, what emerges is an intimate portrait of resilience — generations caught between violence and purpose, survival and remembrance.
And the fight to keep their stories from falling through the cracks.
