Film Description
Stronghold: In the Grip of Wrestling examines the growing number of men who wrestle as adults, and the social stigmas they encounter. It talks frankly about wrestling homoeroticism and homophobia, historically through today, and the many reasons wrestling has become such an under appreciated sport in America. All styles of wrestling are included: amateur wrestling, pro wrestling, and submission grappling.
The documentary takes you back stage at a pro indy show, inside amateur wrestling tournaments, a jiu-jitsu school, and several wrestling events specifically geared for adult men, gay and straight.
