This short film tels the story of Ash, a mixed-race (Pakistani and White) girl from Old Trafford, Manchester, UK. On a youth referral scheme, we see Ash travel to the iconic Salford Lads Club where she takes up boxing as a way of dealing with her troubled past. By portrayig Ash's experience of the sport, the film highlights how the boxing ring can be a neutral space where race and neighborhood politics are left outside. The film looks at not only Ash's own experience of racism, but also the preconceptions she holds of others. Clench shows that something as confrontational as boxing can actually be the most disciplined tool in challenging the steps our minds take in making judgements about people.
