Summary

"Unstoppable" had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its performances from Emmy Award-winner Jharrel Jerome and Jennifer Lopez. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Oscar-winning editor William Goldenberg as it tells the true story of Anthony Robles, an underdog mat wrestler who went on to defy the odds and become a NCAA Division I wrestling champion. Jerome and Goldenberg were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories.
