Emma's Chance (2016)

Frankie Kemp's little boy was killed in the crossfire of gang warfare; ever since, Frankie has put on a mask and gone out to try to stop trouble before it begins. For years she's been a vigilante in a world where superheroes belong on Saturday morning cartoons–but with the escape of a flu-borne supersoldier virus, Frankie, now called Chance, finds herself a powerless vigilante in a world with superpowers. Experience counts–but will it be enough to keep her alive?

While fulfilling her community service hours at a horse rescue ranch, Emma forms an unlikely bond with an abused show horse who won't let anyone ride him. Gaining new skills and confidence, Emma hatches a plan to redeem herself and ultimately save the ranch she's grown to love.

Having spent his entire adult life as a professional boxer, 35-year-old Raymundo "Sugar Ray" Beltran (31-7-1, 19 KOs), a Mexican immigrant and father of three, is striving to win his first world title as his career wanes.

Beltran's pursuit of a championship brings into sharp focus the question of what it takes to win and asks if talent and skill alone make an athlete successful in boxing, or do circumstance, context and politics also play a significant role?
