After a protest turns violent, young activists Nell and Esme are forced to go on the run. Tasked with lying low, they squat in a beautiful and seemingly empty mansion, awaiting further instruction. But a greater danger engulfs them when another interloper arrives at the house fresh from a morning of brutal sport, and reveals an unexpected connection to one of the runaways. “Bloodsport” is a piercing examination of privilege and progressivism, and asks the question of how far you would go to fight for what you believe in?
