ABOUT
Senegalese wrestling derives from ritual manhood trials and has developed into a national sport with packed stadiums and huge prizes. Today, the fight is supplemented with bare knuckle boxing but without any protection. The promise of a golden future attracts thousands of young men, who literally have to fight their way to the top. This is the story of a 22 year old cattle herder and his attempts to become a pro wrestler in Senegal. It's a modern tale about fighting ones way out of poverty, and it's the story of a sport filled with myths and extreme voodoo rituals.
