Gravitas has unveiled the official US trailer for an indie documentary called Lioness: The Nicola Adams Story, telling the story of Olympic Gold Medalist Nicola Adams OBE. This is arriving in the US on VOD starting this April, for those interested in learning more about her story.

She also became the first openly LGBT person to win an Olympic boxing gold medal, after her win at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Quite a story! Looks good.
