An intimate documentary that examines the mental and physical battle of inspiring old-world strongman Chris Shoeck. Facing a lifetime of addiction and suffering, Shoeck channels this pain into the extraordinary feat of bending steel.

Exploring the interplay of mind and body, Shoeck's story provides an uplifting story for mental health, addiction and substance abuse organizations.

Winner of the Best Documentary Feature at the **Fargo Film Festival.** *"You're not likely to see a more inspiring documentary this year..." - Gabe Toro, **IndieWire***
