WRESTLING WITH MY ROOTS is an observational documentary about tradition, rising above expectation, and pursuing your passion without losing your identity. Chris Royles is a Romani Gypsy and professional wrestler from rural Herefordshire in England. He hails from a traditional family of fighting men, but has chosen a slightly different path towards combat sports. Following Chris’s journey from soft-spoken everyman to Romani 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 Romani roots.
