The Ref Didn’t See It! is a documentary that celebrates the unsung heroes of professional wrestling in zebra stripes, the referees.
Although wrestling is a pantomime of violence, the movie pulls back the curtain to reveal the camaraderie, trust and skill behind the spectacle.
Directed by Sara Geidlinger of Bonn Park Media and featuring dozens of wrestling personalities from Waterloo Region and around the world, the film is a tender and funny look at a unique breed of performance artists.
“With the punchy, satirical sensibility of a Michael Moore flick or Morgan Spurlock’s ‘Super Size Me’…celebrates the striped-shirted gatekeepers who conduct a symphony of discordant, brain-bashing mayhem.” – Waterloo Region Record
“..It will add an uplifting, engaging, and entertaining story to an industry that is constantly in need of more babyfaces.” – Sports Illustrated
“Shines a spotlight on…the third person in the ring who is an integral, yet often ignored, part of the show.” – CBC
