The official synopsis reads:
IN THE SHADOWS is based on the truly inspirational story of Ramla Ali, a Somali refugee who, without her family’s knowledge, became the first Somali British boxing champion. Not solely a boxing movie, IN THE SHADOWS is a story of determination, passion, self-discovery and self-belief. It is a coming-of-age film that champions universal themes of identity, belonging, family, love and faith: a deeply human journey where a young woman learns how to open the door to her future and find acceptance from her family and community.
