(Fireworks & screeching) There are few places on the
planet where you can't tune into some form of
professional wrestling on a television or the internet. But to experience it in the
flesh is a different story. For the remote First Nations
communities of northern Canada, it'd be all but
impossible if it weren't for the mettle of the
wrestlers of the CWF. But the relationship is
reciprocal to say the least. The history of fandom within
these communities is deep, and rooted in
something more than just pure spectacle. ♪ I can't help but think that
tucked far away from the glitz and glamour
of the main stage, resides the beating heart of
professional wrestling: the audiences of these
small communities... and the wrestlers willing to
weather the roads to find them. See you
