Strongman (NR)

synopsis

The cinema verite story of a real-life professional strongman named Stanless Steel--the only person in the world who can bend a penny with his fingers--as he attempts to keep the things that truly matter from slipping through his mighty grasp. Equally tender and tough, yet often unexpectedly funny, Strongman won the Grand Jury Prize at Slamdance and has been called one of the most hauntingly original American documentaries in years.
