Wrestling's Queer History Comes Out in Out in the Ring Trailer
Out in the Ring, directed by Ryan Bruce Levey, speaks with both legends and current stars of professional wrestling to discuss the past, present, and future of queer performers in the ring.Using both interviews and rare archival footage, the film sheds light on the contributions of LGBTQ+ wrestling stars as well as the bigotry they faced, including homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, misogyny, and racism. Resulting struggles included addiction, depression, and injury.Over two dozen subjects were interviewed for this never-before-seen look at this representation in the sport.
