Producing House

Catch: The Hold Not Taken is a 2005 feature documentary film that contrasts the billion dollar industry of professional wrestling with its humble roots in Lancashire, England, where the original tradition struggles to survive. The documentary examines wrestling's exile from the commercial world of ‘real’ sports and looks at Catch’s clear relationship with the growing modern phenomenon of full contact fighting.
