Mack Wrestles
Mack Wrestles, co-directed by Taylor Hess and Erin Sanger, takes audiences behind the scenes as Mack Beggs, a gifted athlete from Euless, Texas, struggles against the outside forces that stigmatise transgender athletes.

Those were the very reasons, though, that Beggs loved the sport, it gave him a sense of purpose and a sense of self. Despite all the turmoil, this poignant film makes one thing perfectly clear: If life were a wrestling match, the referee would be raising Mack’s arm at the end.
