Sports reviews of Island Gateway Films Jon Trenge: Veritas The Movie

Customer Review: A Wonderful Wrestling Documentary
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Veritas is a wonderful film for sports fans, in general, and amateur wrestlers, in particular. The film follows Lehigh University's Jon Trenge, a two-time NCAA runner-up, during his senior year season as he battles the very real threat of losing his eyesight to injury, his own resulting anger issues, and opponents looking to unseat the top-ranked wrestler. Trenge, his coach, and his family, are extremely likable, which makes rooting for him to success that much easier. Though you can always look in the record books to see how his season finished, I recommend watching the film to its rewarding end. Bonus features include some spectacular Trenge wrestling highlights and a wrestling clinic that I had wished was even longer!
