"You have the warrior's spirit" - Fans show their love for Angela Lee in emotional "Unstoppable" biopic
Former ONE atomweight MMA world champion Angela Lee is a champion of mental awareness, and her fortitude and spirit will be featured in a biopic that will be part of the Maui Film Festival.
'Unstoppable,' who was the promotion's longest reigning atomweight queen in MMA, shared this amazing news in a recent Instagram post. In the caption, she wrote:
"Through the creation of this project, I have experienced growth and healing ❤️🩹 Ther is still a long road ahead but I'm thankful to be able to express myself through various arts, which for me is my therapy. Thank you Nainoa for bringing these words to life. I am so very grateful to hear the news that our recent @layersfilms "Unstoppable" has officially been selected to screen as part of the @mauifilmfest this year! 🙏🏼🎥🎞️ Big mahalo to the team at the Maui Film Festival for allowing us to share our art on their stage!

Lee has collaborated with Nainoa Langer for this biopic, which will highlight the mental challenges she faced during her professional career, including her dominant reign as the undisputed ONE atomweight queen from 2016 to 2022.
The Singaporean-American star officially hung up the gloves in September 2023 during a special appearance at ONE Fight Night 14 inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The upcoming project has already received positive messages from fans, as users @randallgoeswhere, @guysmessina1, @paytonted and @gloriperitore commented on the post:
