Netflix released the official trailer for the sports drama film Bruised, the directorial debut of Academy Award winner Halle Berry, starring Adriane Lenox, Sheila Atim, Valentina Shevchenko, and Stephen McKinley Henderson.

Halle Berry not only directs but stars in the triumphant sports drama about a fighter who reclaims her power, in and out of the ring, when everyone has counted her out.

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 last fight, she’s coaxed into a brutal underground fight by her manager and boyfriend Desi (Adan Canto) and grabs the attention of a fight league promoter (Shamier Anderson) who promises Jackie a life back in the octagon. But the road to redemption becomes unexpectedly personal when Manny (Danny Boyd, Jr.) – the son she gave up as an infant – shows up at her doorstep.

Watch the official trailer for Bruised.
