COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good documentary/ well put together submitted by denisemw on August 30, 2019, 10:15pm Good film with great footage. Fight scenes and overview very good but only a small portion of the movie. Great story and background but the style or perhaps film quality makes it show its age (over 20 years)
