Only the Strong

In Miami, Louis Stevens, a skilled former Green Beret trained in capoeira, comes back home after serving in Brazil. He is shocked to discover that his former high school has devolved into a hotspot for gangs and drug dealers, turning it into an environment far removed from the place he remembers. Driven by the desire to restore some sense of order, Stevens engages in a series of clashes with local drug dealers using his capoeira skills as a means to reclaim school territory. This courageous act catches the attention of Kerrigan, one of Stevens' old teachers, who appreciates the positive impact he has on the students.Kerrigan, recognizing the potential for change within these troubled youths, tasks Stevens with teaching capoeira to a select group of at-risk students. Through this initiative, Stevens aims to channel their energy into a constructive and disciplined activity that not only helps them develop physical prowess but also instills values such as responsibility and self-control. As the story unfolds, we see how these youngsters rise above the challenges they face every day and emerge stronger through their dedication to capoeira, all thanks to the guidance of an inspiring mentor.
