Review

documentary about trashy kids who wrestle in their backyard. they smash fluorescent light tubes over each others’ heads and hit each other with barbed wire wrapped wood and that kind of crap. the documentary follows a few different groups of them in central california, nevada and even the UK. some of the adults support it because it’s a better alternative than some of the other things they could be doing, or it’s not much worse than football, or it teaches them not have an outlet for violence that is more controlled. i just think it’s trashy kids beating each other up. watch it and you decide.
