Every time we screen a film, we connect with community partners who work in the same space as the theme of our film. For “Deaf Wrestler” we would like to partner with you to help create awareness on the accomplishments & challenges of athletes with disabilities. We would also like to reach out to your networks through this partnership. While set in India and with a south asian flavor, the documentary is still universal in its appeal & with English subtitles for everyone to easily follow.
