TCFF: Queen of the Ring

Synopsis: "Queen of the Ring" is inspired by Jeff Leen's book, chronicling the true story of Mildred Burke, the first million-dollar female athlete in history. The film follows Millie, a young single mother who defies societal norms by becoming a professional wrestler during a time when female wrestling was illegal in most of the U.S. Starting her career by competing against men at carnivals, she builds an impressive record and paves the way for women's wrestling to gain acceptance.
