Synopsis

In Canada, he's Ian Hodgkinson, raised by a single mom, a former hockey goalie and avid metal fan. But in Mexico, he's Vampiro, one of the most famous and controversial wrestlers alive. From a life of crime and homelessness to an outrageous stint as Milli Vanilli's bodyguard to a career body-slamming and elbow-dropping all over the world, Vampiro's journey from top rope to rock bottom and back again is guaranteed to pin you to the mat. A fast and furious documentary about the seamy underbelly of professional wrestling from cult director Lee Demarbre (Harry Knuckles and the Pearl Necklace, KCFF '05).
