FAKE IT SO REAL
Directed by Robert Greene
(2012, U.S.A., 95 mins.)
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.
