 ive features Takedowns and Falls, a documentary film by Todd Hickey an
 d Kirk Ledger. Takedowns and Falls exhibits a group of Pennsylvania te
 ens and their relationships within a high school wrestling team on a j
 ourney to attain a state championship. It chronicles a season of the C
 entral Dauphin Rams in Harrisburg, PA and highlights the sacrifice of 
 its athletes, the commitment of their families and the dedication of i
 ts coaches. Inspired by their love of the sport and their coaches, thi
 s group of teens grows up before our eyes, in an attempt to over achie
 ve and do the impossible. Takedowns and Falls explores themes of humil
 ity, family, friendship and teamwork via individual and team efforts t
 o win a state title. The film transcends the sport, becoming a story a
 bout people over coming odds, and will appeal to a wide audience. Take
 downs and Falls is Spellbound meets Friday Night Lights for high schoo
 l wrestling, taking place in the U.S. Mecca for the sport.\n\nIt is an
  expose on humanity that transcends the mat and captures life-lessons 
 that all people can share and learn from. Audiences will witness the c
 haracters go about their days, their lives captured and portrayed hone
 stly, on and off the mat, and finding the parallels between the two.\n

 ld an appetite for independent film, bringing artists together in a co
 llaborative setting while experiencing the beautiful theater of The Do
 wntown Independent.\n\n \ntakedowns and falls - trailer-D from takedow
