MinimizeWinner of the Grand Jury Prize at Slamdance and a smash-hit at SXSW, STRONGMAN is the cinema verite tale of Stanless Steel--The Strongest Man in the World at Bending Steel and Metal. Equally comic and tragic, tender and tough, STRONGMAN has been hailed as one of the most singular American documentaries in years. It follows Stanless--part-time New Jersey scrap-metal hauler, rough-hewn philosopher, and the only person in the world who can legitimately bend a penny with his fingers---as he faces the tests of his Fellini-esque calling while simultaneously grappling with his advancing age, difficult personal relationships, and a world that seems constantly beyond his mighty grasp.
STRONGMAN is a film about faith, about believing in yourself and a film about never giving up. It is a film about weakness and a film about strength.
