The American Nightmare

Fullsterkur

FULLSTERKUR is the third documentary in a collection of films produced by Rogue Fitness, exploring strength culture around the world, connected specifically by the ancient tradition of stone lifting. Nestled at the doorstep of the Arctic Circle, the country of Iceland is uniquely acquainted with the relationship between strength and survival. For hundreds of years, men and women were challenged to overcome harsh weather and endless winter nights by developing their own distinct physical and mental fortitude—passed down from the age of the Vikings, and iconically represented by the lifting of heavy stones. Today, on an island with a population of just over 300,000, a disproportionate number of the world’s greatest strength athletes still call Iceland home.

The Crossover: 50 Years of Hip Hop and Sports

Fifty years ago in the Bronx, a new genre of music was born, the product of a people searching for their voice and the opportunity to be heard. For decades, the community was bound by the words of leaders like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X before their assassinations attempted to thwart the messaging. While their lives ended, the impact of their words never would, instead paving the way for others. Soon, athletes and entertainers would step to the microphone and boldly become the sound of a new generation and an inspiration to their people. When the world looked to silence them, the culture found a way to speak louder than ever before. From Muhammad Ali to Public Enemy, Jay-Z to Lebron James and beyond, the impact on sports has been indelible.

Jean Moulin, Klaus Barbie, the justice of history

Jean Moulin lived several lives: unifier of the French Resistance, martyr tortured by the Gestapo, forgotten after the war, and then hero. From obscurity to prominence, Jean Moulin's name has remained linked for 70 years to that of his executioner, Klaus Barbie. This historical connection has contributed to the Resistance fighter's enduring legacy. The film retraces the paths of Jean Moulin and Klaus Barbie, head of the Gestapo in Lyon, from November 11, 1942, to June 21, 1943, the date of Jean Moulin's arrest.
