Alana McLaughlin Fights for Her Place in the Ring in Unfightable

Get ready for a powerful new documentary that dives into the world of MMA like never before!

Unfightable, directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Marc J. Perez, follows the incredible journey of Alana McLaughlin, a transgender woman who steps into the tough and often hostile world of professional mixed martial arts.

From a challenging childhood to serving in the U.S. Special Forces, Alana has faced her share of battles. Now, she’s fighting for something more — her right to compete as a professional athlete and to be seen for who she truly is.

Breaking Barriers in the MMA World

Unfightable is more than just a documentary about a fighter; it’s a story about resilience, courage, and the fight for acceptance. Alana McLaughlin’s journey takes viewers from her early struggles to her transition and her discovery of a supportive community in Portland, Oregon. Her path has led her to the MMA ring, where she faces not just opponents but also the biases that still exist against transgender athletes.

“This film shows the importance of transgender athletes’ rights to compete professionally and the courage it takes to live one’s truth,” says director Marc J. Perez.
