Go behind the scenes as we step into the ring at the Bradford Church of Wrestling. Gareth ‘Angel’ Thompson set up one of England’s only wrestling churches in Bradford in 2021. After overcoming his own experiences of abuse and homelessness, he wants to help others build positive mental health through wrestling.

We follow the extraordinary group as they share their inspirational stories of recovery and mental health battles. One of these stories is Cris who is training to step in the ring for the very first time as his LGBTQ character ‘Pride’. Will Cris have the confidence necessary for his wrestling debut to be a success? Show less
