Women Make Movies Presents GIRL WRESTLER on Acclaimed PBS Series
Independent Lens on December 14

**************NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD - BUY YOUR COPY TODAY!
************************

GIRL WRESTLER tells the unlikely story of 13-year-old Texas teenager Tara
Neal who bucks traditional expectations by insisting that girls and boys
should be able to wrestle on the same mat. This fascinating documentary
captures the nail-biting thrill of competition, while speaking volumes
about sexism and sports and the way parents invest their hopes in young
athletes.

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"A finely crafted...and intriguing look at modern girlhood."

-Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News

"It's not hard to root for vivacious Tara."

- Katie Millbauer, Seattle Weekly


"Girls who see this film learn about strength, confidence, self-esteem, and
what it means to believe in yourself against all odds...a great learning
tool that could impact girls and women all over the country."

- GirlStart
