Following the world premiere of her directorial debut BRUISED at AFI FEST 2021, Halle Berry sits down with filmmaker Ava DuVernay for a conversation about her new Netflix film.

ABOUT BRUISED:
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 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.
