The Mud Warriors | Prime & Fire Selects

A film by Mukti Krishan, in partnership with Prime & Fire Selects, Talenthouse and BFI Future Film.

Kushti is a 3,000-year-old traditional type of Indian mud wrestling originating from Persia. In this film, Nilesh Madhale, a 24-year-old wrestler from Karad, explains what life is like for today’s Kushti wrestlers and how he and other athletes are fighting to survive in the dark demise of the once beloved sport.

Prime & Fire Selects, in association with Factory Media, is an annual film competition giving up-and-coming filmmakers the funds and support to create short human-interest documentaries within the realms of action sports.
