Coming to DVD from director Shaun Paul Piccinino and Lionsgate comes the story of a young man trying to safe his family by being an AMERICAN FIGHTER.
Ali Jahani (George Kosturos) is a young man living in the United States going to college in 1981. His parents are in Iran when he gets word that they will be coming to visit. Meeting them at the airport, he learns that tragedy has struck his family and they are still in Iran. Learning it will take a lot of money to get them out, Ali s friend Ryan (Bryan Craig) has an idea.
How far would you go save a dying parent? Shaun Piccininoâs latest film,
American Fighter, answers this question for Ali (played by George Kosturos), a college wrestler who enters the hidden world of underground fighting in an effort to earn cash to save his deathly ill mother. This film takes a promising fighter who lacks skills and pairs him with a trainer (Sean Patrick Flanery) who just might make a fierce competitor out of him.
American Fighter is rated R for violence, so if thatâs up your alley then get ready, but if fight movies arenât your thing, donât discount this one just yet. The movie explores far beyond Aliâs fight training and motivation behind it. Our main character is a college student, and a minority one at that, so we get to see how he deals with racism on campus, partying in the 80s, and falling in love. Check out the clip below to see what Iâm talking about.
