Film Info

WRESTLING WITH MY ROOTS is an observational documentary about tradition, bucking expectation, and pursuing your passion without losing your identity. Its subject, Chris Royles, is a Romany Gypsy and professional wrestler from rural Herefordshire in England. Royles hails from a traditional family of fighting men, but has chosen a slightly different path into combat sports. Following Chris' journey from soft-spoken everyman to Romany wrestling hero at one of his local shows, this film celebrates his close family ties, his independent wrestling company, and the individuality he shows while maintaining proud Romany roots. 

Directed by Charles Newland
