FIGHTVILLE: MMA fighter Dustin "The Diamond" Poirer
Opens 4/20 in New York and Los Angeles, with nationwide dates to follow. Also available the same day via on demand and digital download.
Directed by Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker (“Gunner Palace,” “The Prisoner: Or How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair”)
Over the last decade, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has grown from a controversial no-holds-barred gladiatorial sideshow into a billion dollar phenomenon. MMA has eclipsed boxing as the dominant combat sport in the world, and is so popular that MMA fights regularly appear on U.S. network television – even as a longstanding ban remains in force in New York State. But far from Las Vegas, in sweat-soaked gyms and low-rent arenas across America, the big lights are but a dream.
Here, men fight to test their mettle, fortified with the mythic promise that an ordinary man can transform into a champion.
Directed by the accomplished filmmaking duo of Petra Epperlein and
Michael Tucker (GUNNER PALACE), FIGHTVILLE takes us to Southern
Louisiana, where a group of young athletes, including future MMA powerhouse Dustin Poirier, strive towards personal and professional greatness. The reward? A triumph that could ultimately yield an opportunity to compete professionally in the sport’s upper echelons.
FIGHTVILLE is a microcosm of life, a physical manifestation of the
American Dream and the relentless dedication required of all who hope to attain it. Here, men are not born, but are instead built through self-determination, hard work and faith. In FIGHTVILLE, that’s what champions are made of.
