New wrestling film to screen at High School Senior Nationals Wrestling
Championship and Convention.
VERITAS
Veritas is a feature-length film documenting Lehigh University’s
2004-2005 wrestling team and the story of Jon Trenge, who strives to
achieve his childhood dream of becoming a National Wrestling Champion
for his hometown school. Jon’s freshman season is cut short when
doctors discover an eye condition so serious that he is told he should
never wrestle again or risk losing his eyesight permanently. Jon
refuses to accept his doctor’s warning and is determined to find a way
to wrestle. After undergoing five eye surgeries, he wears homemade
protective goggles designed by his father and nearly achieves his goal
his sophomore and junior seasons losing in the National Finals.
Jon defeats a former National Champion to earn the most wins in
Lehigh’s storied wrestling history, but many of his opponents
intentionally attack his protective goggles injuring and frustrating
him. Jon retaliates and gets disqualified from two matches. However,
Jon overcomes this setback by using it as an opportunity to learn
about himself and grow as a person. He returns to competition
invigorated, and the pursuit of his childhood dream ultimately helps
him become the man he wants to be.
Join us for a special screening during the High School Senior
Nationals Wrestling Championship and Convention from Mar, 29-01, 2007
in Virginia Beach, VA. Date and time to be determined.
