00:00Christy Martin, her story is a story of resilience and strength, and it's pretty astounding to see that she came out from this journey on the other side of it, and, you know, it's a true gift to be able to tell it.
00:15I, quite frankly, was shocked that it hadn't been told already. To work with Christy Martin, the real Christy Martin, was an amazing experience. She was very involved. She read every draft of the script. She was on set quite a bit. I would say much more than half the time, and everyone, everyone was in awe of her. The whole crew, like, we were just so proud to be telling her story, and so it's a real gift to be here tonight and celebrate it.
00:44Amazing. And one quick one. So, I've read that there was actual, sort of, physical punches on set. None of it was fake. None of it was...
00:54No, no, it was all real. I can attest, because I'd go up to the actors and the senties opposite Sid and see if they were okay. I mean, there was lots of bruises and bloody marks on the faces, but that's what they're here for, and Sid, too, got hit quite a bit.
01:11She had, I think she had a couple of concussions, so she says, but I, you know, she had lots of rest, and we took care of her.
