HEART, BABY!: the true story behind the film The Hammer

Writer/Director Angela Shelton takes us on a journey with the real people behind this powerful true story. THE HAMMER (a.k.a HEART, BABY!) is the TRUE STORY of George and Doc are best friends from reform school to life in prison where George “The Hammer” Martin becomes an unbeatable prison boxer. Songwriter Doc is his cornerman and Crystal, his born-again Christian Transgender cellmate, leads the cheering section during Friday Night Fights.
