Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight, I’m a Virgo) blows the doors off with a career-defining performance alongside a star-studded cast (including Jennifer Lopez, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena, and Don Cheadle) in this uplifting sports drama that tackles the inspiring true story of one-legged wrestling champion Anthony Robles.

Born with one leg, Anthony Robles defies expectations to become a champion wrestler in college, competing against the very school that rejected him. Directed by William Goldenberg—an Oscar-winning editor known for his work with Michael Mann, Paul Greengrass, and Ben Affleck—Unstoppable follows Robles as he becomes a high school wrestling star, but struggles to find a college that will recruit him, despite his outstanding record. He ends up walking on to Arizona State University’s team, where he has to prove himself once again.

Discussion with Director William Goldenberg. Moderated by Lisa Kennedy (The New York Times, The Denver Post, Variety).
