The film centers around the pioneer black stuntmen and women who broke racial, gender and economic barriers and opened doors to diversity in the stunt industry.

The Black Stuntmen's Association was the first and only organization to fight for women and minorities in film and television. Their struggle represents the broader picture of ongoing discrimination in every industry.
