PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE OF EPIC HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING DOCUMENTARY "TAKEDOWNS & FALL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 27, 2010 -- Takedowns and Falls is very excited, and honored to be the kick off film for the "Truly Indie" series presented by FirstGlance Film Fests and the Franklin Institute. Please come and be a part of this wonderful event, April 17th & 18th, 2010 in Philadelphia.

The film tells the story of a group of Pennsylvania teens and their relationships within a high school wrestling team on a journey to attain a state championship. It chronicles a season of the Central Dauphin Rams in Harrisburg, PA and highlights the sacrifice of its athletes, the commitment of their families and the dedication of its coaches. Inspired by their love of the sport and their cancer stricken coach, this group of teens grows up before our eyes, in an attempt to overachieve and do the impossible. It explores themes of humility, family, friendship and teamwork via individual and team efforts to win a state title. The film transcends the sport and becomes a story about people over coming odds; a "Spellbound" meets "Friday Night Lights" for high school wrestling, taking place in the U.S. Mecca for the sport.
