Northern Soul

The film captures Mark's obsession with American wrestling and his aspirations to compete in the British wrestling circuit. With a weight of just nine stone and a low pain threshold, his journey is filled with humor and heart.

Directed by a team from Big Arty Productions, Northern Soul offers a glimpse into a subculture of wrestling enthusiasts in Northern England. The mock documentary format adds depth to Mark's character and the world he inhabits.
