Watching: Etched In Pavement

Overview

Filmed over four years, Etched In Pavement follows Dwane Taylor and Michael Futrell, two young men in Detroit who set out to redirect their worlds through the language they know best: fighting. Their weaving paths move through youth combat sports, professional boxing and their growing Guns Down, Gloves Up street-fighting movement. As they navigate fatherhood, mentorship and loss, the film becomes an intimate portrait of generations caught between violence and purpose, survival and legacy.
