Documentary · 2020
The stakes on the mat are high, but for these cheerleaders, the only thing more brutal than their workouts and more exceptional than their performances are the stories of adversity and triumph behind the athletes themselves.
The sides of Cheer
- A college cheer team in Texas
- Coach Monica Aldama
- The road to the national championship in Daytona
Cheer is good for you if…
- you like a sport you never took seriously shown as brutal and precise.
- you like real athletes telling where they come from.
- you like being moved by young people fighting for a spot on the mat.
Cheer is bad for you if…
- you can't take hard childhoods, injuries and real trouble told on camera.
- you want something light, and the pressure is hard to watch.
