Pahlavan background

Pahlavan

The exclusion of a sport from the modern day Olympics has become a harsh reality following the International Olympic Committee's recent decision.

A documentary film, Pahlavan, explores the story of wrestling, a sport rich in history and diversity, as it faces its biggest challenge yet: potentially being removed from the Olympics. The film follows three story arcs, including historic events between the US and Iran, and the upcoming IOC decision. Pahlavan showcases wrestling's uniting power, its accessibility to anyone, and its potential to achieve sports diplomacy, which traditional diplomacy often fails to do.
