This intimate documentary goes to the mat with four members of a high-school wrestling team at Huntsville’s J.O. Johnson High School, a longstanding entry on Alabama’s list of failing schools. Jailen, Jamario, Teague, and Jaquan 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. A post discussion and activities with Beat the Street Baltimore, an afterschool wrestling program for inner city youth will follow.
