“Amateurs” follows Mixed Martial Arts fighters in Paris through training and their first amateur fights.
The project delves into the physicality and vulnerability dictated by the fighting process, in a sport where fights take place inside a fence built for the athletes’ safety, but that promoters and fighters readily call a “cage.”
