Just when I could not love South Carolina any more comes this movie

Wrestling for Jesus is an award winning documentary. Timothy Blackmon felt the drive to evangelize to his fellow man, and did what seemed right in rural South Carolina: he founded an amateur Christian wrestling league to spread the Word. Setting up the battered oilcloth ring in gymnasiums around the county, Wrestling for Jesus might draw a few dozen fans on a good night. Timothy is better known as T-Money, and he holds together a raggedy group of grizzled old bikers and young skinny wrestlers. It's tough work, both the praying and the fighting, and inevitably the challenges mount: injuries, family time, and a rival backyard wrestling gang known as the Throne of Anguish Wrestling Federation. Extra features include a featurette about the Throne of Anguish Wrestling Federation (TWF). Wrestling for Jesus was an official selection at the Wisconsin Film Festival, The Little Rock Film Festival, the Virginia Film Festival and others.
