God's Tackle Box Soundtrack (2007)

Synopsis

Every weekend, Canton, Ga., middle school teacher Rob Fields becomes 'Rob Adonis', leader of Ultimate Christian Wrestling, a league based in Georgia. During the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006, young Athens, Ga., documentary filmmaker Christopher Childs sought to capture the world of Ultimate Christian Wrestling in a new film called God?s Tackle Box. The film focuses largely on Fields, a former pro wrestler, who believes he was called by God to go into the world and minister to people through the best means he knows. And that, of course, is professional wrestling. But UCW abandons contemporary wrestling?s story lines in favor of Biblical ones. They have a single goal, to save souls. God's Tackle Box follows the relationship that develops between the UCW ministry and a non-denominational rural church in Georgia, whose pastor and members not only enjoy the entertainment but find themselves moved to help support the unusual ministry. The film chronicles the course of a typical UCW event from the wrestlers? pre-event group prayer backstage to the evening's final and dramatic message of how one?s choices in life lead to either eternal salvation or damnation. The film doesn't offer commentary on the beliefs or practices of those in UCW or who attend the wrestling events. Instead, it explores UCW through the actions and words of its members and supporters. Through visual imagery and interviews, the documentary is intended to encourage more thought about the subject matter, regardless of the personal positions of the viewer.
