Wrestling With Life

Wrestling With Life follows Shawn Spencer’s wrestling journey from bleak beginnings in Portsmouth’s rough streets and struggling to make ends meet, to learning the meaning of belonging, friendship, ambition and self-acceptance. Wrestling With Life is a darkly funny, and emotionally charged story about indie wrestling, class, trauma, chosen family, and the terrifying realisation that Shawn’s life isn’t determined by his father’s views but by his own actions and desires. While bringing to life the dark side of sexuality and the fears and challenges that those whom society looks down on most face.
