Exclusive: Oscilloscope Laboratories, the production and distribution company founded by Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys, has picked up the North American rights to a pair of documentaries: Wrestle, the Suzannah Herbert- and Lauren Belfer-directed film about high school wrestlers, and The Proposal, visual artist and writer Jill Magid’s directorial debut doc, which premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. Both will get a theatrical release sometime this year.
Wrestle follows four members of a wrestling team — Jailen, Jamario, Teague, and Jaquan — at Huntsville’s J.O. Johnson High School, a longstanding entry on Alabama’s list of failing schools. Captured during the course of the team’s final season, the teammates each face challenges far beyond a shot at the state championship: splintered family lives, drug use, teenage pregnancy, mental health struggles and run-ins with the law threaten to derail their success on the mat and their futures.
