GLOW (written by Manjinder Virk)

Overcome with grief, Raj is unable to support his daughter as she fights to survive so she conjures up someone who can, Muhammad Ali. Her best mate (Ant) is obsessed with Lord of the Rings, a world in which he can belong. Each escapes to their own corner but for how long before they are knocked down?
