(Slamdance 2024) Interview with Stephan Peterson and Sonya Ballantyne - The Death Tour

Filmmakers Stephan Peterson and Sonya Ballantyne talk about their new documentary executive produced by Chris Jericho THE DEATH TOUR. Seen through wrestler’s eyes as they drive through the frozen tundra, sleep on ring mats after shows, and face their inner demons. Some hope that surviving the Death Tour will propel them to wrestling superstardom while others, their bodies battered and scarred, head North for one last chance to hear the roar of an adoring crowd.

We talk about how these matches affect these small-town crowds, and how among the indigenous people of Canada, these matches have become a pastime.
