About This Movie

So, 'Between Rings' – it’s this fascinating documentary that digs into the life of Esther Phiri, who really stands out in a society that expects young women to follow traditional paths.

The atmosphere is raw and inspiring, showcasing her struggles with education while training. The pacing feels almost reflective at times, allowing you to absorb her journey. One moment, you're watching her in the ring, and then the next, it shifts to her personal life, creating this contrast that’s really effective. The performances, especially by Esther herself, bring authenticity that resonates throughout.
