Director Nathan Clarke talks with Sean McCord about Wrestling For Jesus, a documentary that screens at 1:45 pm on Saturday at the Virginia Film Festival. Here’s the write-up from the festival.
“In rural South Carolina, Timothy Blackmon felt a calling to fill a spiritual void in himself and share it with his fellow man. His chosen method was an amateur Christian wrestling league. In the ring, Blackmon transforms into the villainous “T-Money” as he dukes it out with Christians who choose to worship through sport. While a boisterous spectacle on stage, behind closed doors, Blackmon grapples with a crumbling marriage and the suicide of his father – the man who told him to never stop wrestling. Without ever judging its subject, the film explores one man’s dichotomous spiritual struggle.”
