Fighter

Danish writer and director Natasha Arthy blends two genres perfectly in this powerful film about a young Turkish girl who wants to become a martial art fighter despite the wishes of her family and community. Arthy manages to adapt the "Karate Kid" formula successfully in the immigrant community with a universal appeal with fully realized characters in a stylish film that boasts a vibrant soundtrack. The unknown cast excels and brings the necessary authenticity which makes the film more compelling. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
