<p style="margin:0px;text-align:justify;font-size:10px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">Whether or not you’re a fan of professional wrestling — “puroresu” on these shores — “DDT: We Are Japanese Wrestlers” offers an insightful slice of the pummeling life. From its beginnings with the great Rikidozan and now generating over $100 million a year, pro wrestling is very serious business indeed. Thanks to the Dramatic Dream Team (DDT), it is also sometimes very silly business, with matches that strike a perfect balance of the hair-raising and the hilarious. The team’s astounding athleticism, creative costuming and dazzling choreography have made it one of the top names in indie wrestling, with ardent fans spanning the globe. Our screening will be preceded by a live Power Point presentation (you read that right) by DDT star Super Sasadango Machine, custom-created for his FCCJ appearance. Co-directed by wrestler Muscle Sakai and acclaimed documentarian Tetsuaki Matsue (“Live Tape,” “Flashback Memories 3D”), both of whom will be on hand for the Q&A afterward, the film is a fittingly scruffy tribute to DDT’s tough boys with soft underbellies, as they approach their 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary. </p>
