grappling girls is a documentary-in-progress about women’s competitive wrestling--an emerging sport in the US. 

2004 saw the initial appearance of women’s wrestling in the Olympics.  for the first time, girls and women around the country experienced international validation of their still controversial presence in the sport.

principle photography for grappling girls has begun.  view the quicktime trailer above. 

we are continuing to seek funding so we can include women’s stories from across the country.

donations for funding are accepted via PayPal or by contacting the director Lisa Blackstone.
