6 x 45min
Set in the heart of a disadvantaged Montreal neighbourhood, the six 60-minute episodes of Still I Rise tell the rough-and-tumble story of Maxime Salomon, a policewoman who decides to take four troubled young adults under her wing. She introduces them to Mixed Martial Arts hoping to give them a fighting chance at keeping their crime sheets clean. The idea does not meet with the unanimous approval of her law-enforcement colleagues and could cost her dearly. Can fighting fire with fire finally put a stop to a vicious cycle of violence when young adults are caught up in it for far too long?
