The Death Tour

The story of a professional wrestling tour that travels Northern Manitoba every winter to entertain remote Indigenous communities.

The film explores what the tour means to the isolated communities where the wrestlers are celebrities and to the aspiring professional wrestlers on the ‘most gruelling tour in pro wrestling’.

“Both the fans and the wrestlers feed off of one another, which makes for some beauty in the valley of death.” Jason Delgado, Film Threat
