Made over ten years in an intimate cinema verite fashion, Strongman offers not only a look at an uncommon subculture but something deeper about the search for strength in all our lives. The critically-acclaimed film is both immediately accessible and profoundly resonant, as we discover in its star a true American original-both an Everyman and a Superman-who sticks in your heart and reveals new layers with each viewing.
