The adage “truth is stranger than fiction” certainly applies here: Anthony Robles, born without a right leg, overcomes physical and domestic challenges to become a champion college wrestler. For his first feature film, director William Goldenberg has assembled a star-studded cast including Jharrel Jerome as Robles, who actually plays Jerome’s body double in some scenes, and Jennifer Lopez as Robles’ indomitable mother. Premiered in the Special Presentations section at the Toronto International Film Festival.
