Documentary

Synopsis

SUMO: Spirit Weighs Nothing grants rare inside access to Japan’s notoriously private world of sumo. Over a turbulent year of sacrifice and survival, wrestlers at different stages of their career fight to endure within one of Japan’s most punishing traditions. Behind the curtain, true strength is measured — not in flesh, but in refining the spirit.
