GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling

The documentary film GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling was completed in late 2011. The film was directed by Brett Whitcomb, written by Bradford Thomason, and features the music of ESG. GLOW: The Story of The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling premiered at Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival to positive reviews, and has since been featured in New York Magazine, LA Weekly, RogerEbert.com, VICE, /Film, The Village Voice, and Mental Floss magazine. The film recently won the Best Documentary award at Comic-Con International Film Festival in San Diego, CA, and Audience Choice Best Documentary at Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, AL.

GLOW was created after Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch came across this documentary, having new heard before of the GLOW female wrestling team. Looking at the time to create a female-centric show, they became intrigued with the idea of creating a fictionalized version of GLOW.
