'Wrestle' Los Angeles Premiere

Following it's New York debut where it was selected as a NY Times' Critic's Pick, 'Wrestle' co-written by Pablo Proenza will have it's Los Angeles premiere this weekend! 

'Wrestle' Summary:

Hoop Dreams goes to the mat in this intimate, coming-of-age documentary about four members of a high-school wrestling team at Huntsville’s J.O. Johnson High School, a long-standing entry on Alabama’s list of failing schools. Coached by teacher Chris Scribner, teammates Jailen, Jamario, Teague, and Jaquan each face challenges far beyond a shot at the State Championship: splintered family lives, drug use, teenage pregnancy, mental health struggles, and run-ins with the law threaten to derail their success on the mat and lock any doors that could otherwise open.
