Aroview: An emotionally resonant character drama from accomplished director Trey Edward Shults (IT COMES AT NIGHT, KRISHA) following a suburban African American family, whose teenage son is a promising wrestler hiding an injury from his dominating father.

Exploring the ripple effect of 'toxic masculinity' in society all the way to a devastating tragedy, this is a brave and exquisitely crafted film which will stick with you.
