Neil Coyne is Western Australia’s first Aboriginal wrestler.
At 43, 'NC Viper' has been in the ring for over seven years and is a huge favourite with fans and other wrestlers alike.
But the death of Neil’s mother 18 months ago has re-triggered the trauma of his early childhood, sending him into a spiral of depression and apathy.
With a loving wife and six children dependent on him, Neil has now decided to make a comeback. Can he pull himself back into the ring, and back into a meaningful life, or will he be defeated by his biggest opponent ever – his own emotions?
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
