Going to the Mat
There's more to winning than meets the eye.
Directed by Stuart Gillard
An uplifting family drama about a blind teenager overcoming social isolation and self-doubt through wrestling and acceptance.
Jace Newfield has a problem. Besides being blind and being the new kid at school, his problem is that the kids at his new school thinks he's a jerk. Jace has to find a way to be accepted into his new school. Joining the wrestling team just might work.
