‘The Fight to Fight’ Doc, Criticizing Hegseth’s Scrutiny of Women in Combat, Sets Release (Exclusive)

A new documentary feature is taking aim at the challenges that women in combat have faced.

AB2 Media Group’s theatrical division Abramorama has acquired North American distribution rights for The Fight to Fight, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The company plans a nationwide theatrical release in March 2027 for director Joy Bronson’s film that was co-directed by Mark Romanov and is presented in association with ROCO Films. The trailer, which is exclusive to THR, is below.

Arriving amid renewed challenges surrounding women’s service in ground combat, The Fight to Fight centers on the women who have stood their ground to serve in America’s military and the impact on society at large. The documentary, which includes the voices of numerous celebrated female veterans, follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth having ordered a Pentagon review earlier this year to scrutinize women’s service in ground combat.

Sneak preview screenings are planned for Veterans Day on Nov. 11, 2026, at Regal Union Square in New York City and Regal Gallery Place in Washington, D.C. Onstage conversations from the film’s team will follow both screenings.

The news about the movie landing distribution comes on the heels of a history-making midterm election cycle for women veterans. A record 95 women veterans ran for the congressional primaries, with 38 landing on the general election ballot, according to With Honor Action. The film features former Air Force captain Chrissy Houlahan, who won reelection to the U.S. House in Pennsylvania this week.

Bronson, a former U.S. Navy pilot, directed and produced The Fight to Fight. Richard Hutton and Joe Skorupa also serve as producers, while Sean Mullin executive produces.

“Joy Bronson has made an important film that captures history while it is still being written,” says AB2 Media Group and Abramorama CEO Karol Martesko-Fenster. “The Fight to Fight is a deeply inspiring portrait of women who met every standard and changed one of America’s most storied institutions from the inside. We’re honored to bring their stories of courage and resilience to theaters nationwide at the precise moment these advancements are under threat once again.”

Adds Bronson, “As a former Navy pilot, I know what it means to love serving your country while having your opportunities limited because you are a woman. I began The Fight to Fight to celebrate a historic victory and never expected to document how that progress could be lost. We’re thrilled to partner with Abramorama and ROCO to bring these extraordinary women’s stories to audiences. I hope these women’s experiences encourage audiences to reconsider their assumptions about who belongs on the frontlines.”
