Lions is a short documentary about Streetbeefs, an amateur fight club created by Virginia native, Chris ‘Scarface’ Wilmore, to redirect would-be fatal feuding to backyard boxing matches. Beefs are solved with fists in the ring. What started as a YouTube channel has risen to a phenomenon with tens of millions of views per video. The film was selected for SXSW and received a Vimeo Staff Pick, among other accolades.
