Halle Berry’s Directorial Debut ‘Bruised’ Gets A Release Date

Halle Berry’s directorial debut ‘BRUISED’ will release on November 24 on Netflix.

The film follows a disgraced MMA fighter seeking redemption in the ring while also fighting for custody of her young son.

She is portraying Jackie “Justice”, a disgraced MMA fighter who has failed at the one thing she’s ever been good at fighting. When 6-year-old Manny, the son she walked out on years ago, returns to her doorstep, Jackie has to conquer her own demons, face one of the fiercest rising stars of the MMA world, and ultimately fight to become the mother this kid deserves.

Berry is not a newbie in the mma world. She’s an actual fan of the sport. She’s been seen at multiple UFC events. She has also supported fighters such as Cyborg and UFC Women Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunez.
