PREVIEW: Fight to Live (2025 Documentary) – The Inspiring Story of Bec ‘Rowdy’ Rawlings Comes to UK Digital

Fight to Live

Preview by Jon Donnis

Wild child, mother, survivor, and champion. Bec 'Rowdy' Rawlings' remarkable journey is at the heart of Fight to Live, the award-winning documentary from filmmaker Tom Haramis. Winner of Best Inspirational Film at the Cannes World Film Festival 2023, this poignant and powerful film makes its UK digital debut on 27 January 2025, courtesy of Bohemia Media.


Born in Launceston, Tasmania, Rawlings was a rebellious spirit who found purpose and passion in the brutal yet exhilarating world of mixed martial arts (MMA). Her journey was far from straightforward. Behind her fierce determination lies a story of unimaginable hardship, including surviving a violent marriage. Driven to create a better life for her two sons and herself, Rawlings escaped her abuser and rebuilt her life through sheer resilience. She eventually made history as the first woman to win the Police Gazette Diamond Belt in Bare Knuckle Fighting.


Fight to Live captures Rawlings' unrelenting spirit through raw and intimate interviews with her family, trainers, and closest allies. Haramis' documentary not only chronicles her rise as a combat sports trailblazer in male-dominated arenas but also shines a spotlight on her advocacy for domestic abuse survivors. It is a story of overcoming adversity, embracing newfound strength, and inspiring others to reclaim their lives, no matter how daunting the fight may seem.


This isn't just a film about victory in the ring. It is a deeply moving exploration of courage, transformation, and the indomitable human spirit. Don't miss the chance to witness Rawlings' incredible story when Fight to Live arrives on UK digital platforms on 27 January 2025. Prepare to be inspired.
