Description

Fake it So Real follows a ragtag group of wrestlers in North Carolina over the course of a week leading up to a big show. The film explores what happens when the over-the-top theatrics of the wrestling ring collide with the realities of the working-class South. The wrestlers aren’t paid for their passion, but they treat wrestling like any artist treats their work. Fake It So Real shares the triumphs and heartaches of an often under-appreciated American art form.

    Warts and all regional wrestling doc

    A peek inside the insular world of a regional North Carolina wrestling promotion. A bit problematic (as the participants express their racism and homophobia) but engaging and unquestionably verite.

    Great release by Factory25. It's

    Great release by Factory25. It's all about the lives of wrestlers in a small time. Not really into wrestling but this film held my attention cause the characters were so likeable and interesting. I'm happy with my purchase.
