The time is 1972 in Ireland, and Muhammad Ali is fighting in Croke Park in Dublin. Float Like a Butterfly features a young Irish girl named Frances who idolizes him and dreams of following his steps to become the greatest boxer. Despite having been her biggest ally once, her ex-convict father now has other plans for her. Whether standing inside the boxing ring or out, Frances continues to fight to champion her people. From the producers of ONCE and SING ST, this film brings a story of passion and freedom to the screens as Frances learns to look inside herself and triumph against society's expectations and preconceptions which work to tie her down. The film was premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and the Cork International Film Festival.
