The Corner

Set in a corner of Los Angeles where cameras rarely linger, THE CORNER follows youth boxing coach Daysi Garcia as she fights to give her kids a path to a better future. <br><br>Inside a makeshift neighborhood gym, a tight-knit group of middle schoolers feel safe to push themselves beyond their limits. But outside the gym, pressures mount. The immigrant neighborhoods that Daysi serves are marked by gang violence and the looming threat of displacement. The stakes of growing up here are never abstract. Daysi was raised here too and she knows her kids are one mistake away from getting caught up in the school-to-prison pipeline. So boxing becomes more than a sport. It is a refuge, a lifeline. <br><br>THE CORNER is an intimate portrait of resilience, mentorship, and the power of community to create hope in uncertain times.
