Shine Louise Houston is one of a rare breed, a porn director who frequently crosses over into festival stardom. Her feminist approach to lesbian porn infuses her films with real eroticism; the sex is intense and resolutely female.
Jessie is a prize-fighting martial artist under threat of expulsion from her management as rumours begin to circulate about her sexuality. Frequently conquering and dominating her partners in and out of the ring, a final opponent must be overpowered by Jessie's sexual appetite to prevent blackmail. The sex is unabashed, horny, full-throttle in a film that holds no prisoners with its passion.
"If you liked Girlfight, but felt like it was missing strap-on action and penetration, then Champion is for you! With authentic, quivering orgasms and quite a bit of rough play, the queer-made Champion brings the fight into the bedroom ... and a van." Frameline, San Francisco LGBT Film Festival, 2009
Movie of the Year - 2009 Feminist Porn Awards
