AB2 Media Group, through its theatrical division, ABRAMORAMA has agreed to manage North America theatrical distribution rights to THE FIGHT TO FIGHT, with a nationwide release planned for March 2027. THE FIGHT TO FIGHT has also established a partnership with ROCO Films to handle educational and community licensing.
“Joy Bronson has made an important film that captures history while it is still being written,” said Karol Martesko-Fenster, CEO of AB2 Media Group and ABRAMORAMA. “THE FIGHT TO FIGHT is a deeply inspiring portrait of women who met every standard and changed one of America’s most storied institutions from the inside. We’re honored to bring their stories of courage and resilience to theaters nationwide at the precise moment these advancements are under threat once again.”
An announcement about the partnership with ABRAMORAMA and ROCO Films was posted today in the Hollywood Reporter. To see the Hollywood Reporter story click here.
This is another major milestone in our journey to get THE FIGHT TO FIGHT in front of as large an audience as possible so we can maximize our education and impact campaign. Our goal is to share the stories of these remarkable women who opened the door for all qualified individuals to serve, and to ensure the door remains open to future generations.
As part of our impact campaign, we have gone through the process of qualifying with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). We have no illusions that we will get on the short list of nominations, but being Oscar qualified will ensure we get in front of important people in the film industry who could amplify our message.

Official Poster and Trailer Released in Time for Veterans Day
The familiar green plastic toy soldier is an enduring symbol of American military service, but for generations, the figure we imagined was always a man. By reimagining this iconic figure as a woman, THE FIGHT TO FIGHT challenges our assumptions about who belongs on the battlefield. It's a simple image with a larger message: courage, competence, and the ability to serve have never been determined by gender. Click here for the official trailer.
