Christy Martin, David Michôd, and Mirrah Foulkes Interview by The Culture Collective

The real-life legend Christy Martin joins director David Michôd and co-writer Mirrah Foulkes to discuss CHRISTY — the powerful new film based on Martin’s incredible life story. They open up about bringing her journey from small-town boxer to world champion to survivor of unimaginable trauma to the screen, capturing a story of grit, redemption, and legacy.

About “CHRISTY”
Christy Martin (played by Sydney Sweeney) never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia — until she discovered a knack for punching people. Fueled by determination and raw talent, she charges into the boxing world under the guidance of her trainer and husband, Jim (Ben Foster). But while Christy’s persona burns bright in the ring, her toughest battles unfold outside it. Based on true events, CHRISTY is a story of resilience, courage, and fighting for one’s life.
