Wrestle

Season 20 Episode 19 | 1hr 26m 01s

Wrestle goes inside the lives of four members of the high school wrestling team at Huntsville’s J.O. Johnson High School--a longstanding entry on Alabama’s list of failing schools. Teammates Jailen, Jamario, Teague, and Jaquan show that needing a win can be about much more than just beating your opponent on the mat.

Aired: 05/19/19 | Expires: 09/27/21
