I produced, filmed, and edited this documentary over a 5-year period. Many of the participants are members of Meetfighters and other wrestling sites. This is the first hour of this two-hour award-winning documentary. Enjoy!

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 underappreciated sport in America. All styles of wrestling are included: amateur wrestling, pro wrestling, and submission grappling.
