Laamb(2013)
Laamb Synopsis
The rules are simple in Senegalese wrestling: First man down, loses. The sport derives from ritual manhood trials and has developed into a national sport with packed stadiums and huge prizes. Today, the fight is supplemented with bare knuckle boxing but without any protection. The 22-year-old cattle herder Ndoff has been chosen to compete in an annual talent event in Dakar, and faces a possible breakthrough as a pro wrestler. LAAMB is the story of a sport filled with myths and extreme voodoo rituals, and a modern tale about fighting one’s way out of poverty.
Laamb (2013) is a documentary film directed by Kristoffer Hegnsvad, released on November 7, 2013 with a runtime of 27m. It stars Ndoff and Jørgen Leth.
