Trailer
In a time of great uncertainty, this slice-of-life documentary captures the essence of Maria’s experience immigrating to the U.S. from Peru. The film is a tribute to the courage it takes to leave home, the hidden costs of starting over, and the community she’s built along the way.

ONE FALL Trailer

ONE FALL is an exploration into the world of independent professional wrestling, and the intersection of art, theater, athleticism, and sport. We follow a promoter, wrestler, and coach working to bring indie wrestling culture back to the nation's Capitol at the first show in D.C. in decades. There is joy, pain, sacrifice, and gain, all for the adoration of their die hard fans, and the glory that comes with stepping into the ring. Producer, GW Documentary Center Team
