OUT IN THE RING: Award-winning LGBTQIA+ Wrestling Doc Available on Blu-ray Now!

One sign of a great documentary is the ability to take a concept that doesn’t interest a viewer on the surface and grab them with a great story. Out in the Ring is exactly that kind of film. A balanced and nuanced look at a century of victories and defeats with inspiring stories, cautionary tales, and plenty of high-flying action to punctuate the strength and power of the movement. This is definitely among the highlights of this year’s Fantasia.

Following a global festival tour and critically lauded broadcast on FUSE TV,  Ry Levey's look into the world of LGBTQIA+ representation in pro wrestling, OUT IN THE RING comes to North American BluRay on April 1st via boutique label ETR Media, a partner of OCN Distribution and Vinegar Syndrome.

 

The release comes replete with extras including a director and editor commentary, and additional interview segments featuring wrestlers including EFFY, Susan Tex Green and Sonny Kiss.

 

OUT IN THE RING explores the rise and history of LGBTQ+ professional wrestlers and representation in the sport. Using a combination of interviews with LGBTQ+ wrestling talents (past and present), allies & historians, archival footage and rare photos, OUT IN THE RING uncovers the history of the pro wrestling industry and the rise of visibility for performers and fans around the world.
