Overview
Karenjeet Kaur Bains is a record-breaking British powerlifter and Team GB's first female Sikh Champion. Amar Stewart is a British artist based in North Carolina's vibrant art scene. Famed for his paintings of hip hop stars depicted as royalty, Amar is self-taught and doesn't play by the rules, and this masterpiece will be no different. In his exploration into the woman behind the powerlifter, Amar meets her mother, who was denied the same athletic opportunities, and her father/trainer, who is proud that his daughter is smashing stereotypes as well as records.
