Night falls on Colorado Springs as two combatants, dressed in 15th century armor, beat each other to a pulp in an open arena. Blunt steel weapons resonate with every blow and after a grueling several minutes, the round is called to a stop. Exhausted, both women throw down their axes, remove their helmets and warmly embrace. This traditionally European sport was brought to present day America by way of a few traveling LARP hobbyists. Although very much male dominated, a group of female fighters joined the fray and the concept of a knight was reborn. STEEL SONG follows the lives of three of these women; Shoshana Shellans, a teacher and military veteran who tirelessly trains to make the American team, Bridgette Parkison, a writer with autism and essential tremors, who fights to conquer her self- doubt, and Julee Slovacek-Peterson, a mother and domestic abuse survivor who faces her past in combat with the love and support of her family. This documentary illustrates not just the fight but beauty in the fight itself. STEEL SONG tells the story of every day people who find hope, family and strength in Medieval Armored Combat.
