Veteran pro wrestler "Diamond" Dallas Page helps his troubled mentor, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, to get back to a healthy lifestyle and a positive outlook.
The take
This journey is as much about Jake Roberts overcoming his addiction and damaged self-outlook, as it is about the heroic, life-changing efforts that DDP made to get him there. DDP's brand of aggressive wholesomeness and belief in Roberts is palpable, and the rawness of the presentation only accentuates how real this friendship is, and how urgent DDP's mission is—he will do this himself because no one else can. The documentary is inspiring with its vulnerability alone, as the underlying story is of men renouncing toxic behaviors that keep them looped into destructive habits. It doesn't waste time with fluff minutes or details, just straight to your heart from start to finish.
What stands out
DDP did so well he went ahead and helped one of his downed peers Scott Hall, as well. DDP saved two lives in this documentary; what an inspiration.
