Featured review
I had the distinct pleasure to see "Glena" at the Voices: Women in Film competition in Denver, CO where this documentary won Best in its category - and for good reason.
"Glena" is a stunning portrait of a woman driven to succeed in the world of UFC championship fighting. A single mom in her 30's, this is not a choice that most people would consider at entry level. But Glena beat the odds (and many of her opponents quite frankly) with guts and sheer determination.
Director Alan Luebke follows Glena on her spectacular journey and we see all the highs and lows along the way. It doesn't feel like a doc - it really feels like a movie - and the audience was captivated and moved by every scene.
If you have two hours to spare and you love action and are in the mood for a life affirming story - "Glena" is your ticket. You'll be glad you chose this film, five minutes in! Enjoy!
