BEYOND THE MAT

Director Van M. PHAM | 2013 | USA | 106 mins | New York Premiere

Aaron MILLER, a high school wrestling star who is well loved but sticks out as a Vietnamese adoptee in his white Middle America town, is facing a disintegrating friendship with his best friend Bo. They draw apart when a new Vietnamese American student Linh TRAN arrives and causes Aaron to question what he truly knows about himself. Van M. PHAM’s debut feature is a solidly told and well-paced classic sports movie synthesizing athletic excitement and a personal journey, set in the visually fresh field of high-school wrestling.
