Cael Sanderson: Portrait of a Champion

This in-depth documentary – produced by Iowa Public Television over a ten-month period – takes a remarkable look at the life on and off the mat of the man who is being called the greatest wrestler of all time, Cael Sanderson. With an unprecedented collegiate record of 159–0, which includes four NCAA championships, the documentary introduces viewers to the talented athlete and artist. The third of four brothers – all wrestlers – Sanderson is a humble, yet intensely driven individual. But he has worked to carve out a life outside of wrestling, as well, with keen interests in graphic design, fly fishing, and animals. This look at the private life of Sanderson gives viewers a glimpse of what drives this champion. This documentary is the culmination of months of research and coverage, and includes in-depth interviews with Sanderson and numerous wrestling greats, plus past and present wrestling footage and information not available anywhere else!
