Whenever we see a specially-abled person, our first reaction is often one of pity. We tend to focus on what they cannot do rather than recognizing their strengths and achievements. However, there are countless and unstoppable examples of extraordinary individuals who have defied limitations and made history. Among them are Oscar Pistorius, an Olympic runner, and Arunima Sinha, the first female amputee to climb Mount Everest.
Anthony Robles was born without a right leg, but that didn’t stop him from pursuing his passion for wrestling. With the unwavering support of his mother, he eventually became a national champion. The movie’s trailer highlights Anthony’s struggles and triumphs. It shows how his father never supported his wrestling ambitions and reacted angrily when Anthony wanted to keep his options open after receiving a Drexel scholarship. Anthony aspired to attend Arizona State University (ASU), where he had to compete against recruited athletes to earn his place. Despite being mocked and advised to exploit his disability for advantage, his mother’s steadfast support kept him focused on his dream.
