If there is a rulebook for sports documentaries, then Herbert throws it out the window. Instead she achieves, on behalf of the audience, a connection with these kids that is rarely if ever achieved in this genre. By the time the credits role, and the mandatory "where are they now" screens pop up, you will find yourself much more interested in what happened to these young people than in their wrestling scores. That is, in a nutshell, the brilliance of this film.
