Amazon has dropped a new featurette for the film, Unstoppeble which is based on a true story about Anthony Robles.

One of a kind wrestler, Anthony Robles (played by Jharrel Jerome) who defied every expectation to become a national wrestling champion. This film marks William Goldenberg’s directorial debut. He is a decorated Academy Award winning editor for Argo with previous nominations including The Imitation Game, Zero Dark Thirty, Seabiscuit, and The Insider.

Here’s what the synopsis describes : Unstoppable is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams.

With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.

The film features an all-star ensemble cast including Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña with Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Lopez. Anthony Robles himself is seen in the film and credited as ‘Anthony Robles Double’ performing the complex wrestling moves and stunts. He is also a producer on the film.

Unstoppable is produced by Artists Equity, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company.

Jharrel Jerome trained for months and worked very closely with Anthony to establish the physicality and determination required for the role. Unstoppable employed Accessibility Coordinators from IndieVisible to ensure a safe working environment, including productivity tools for all cast and crew.
