Blood, Sweat and Tears

4 views

in Épinay-sur-Seine, Nora Cornolle, a French UFC fighter, turns her housing estate into a training ground. We watch her shadowbox between the buildings, then at night under the city lights. Her voice recites the poem “Blood, Sweat and Tears,” speaking of fear, pressure, scars, and controlled rage. A film about raw beauty: the kind born from discipline, inner struggle, and resilience.

biography

My name is Momar Niang. I come from music videos and rap—I grew up with images driven by words and rhythm. I’ve always loved bringing those two worlds together, using sound, poetry, and editing to tell real stories. Cinema came naturally to me: a way to go beyond performance, to capture faces, place
