The Story Behind Gheyrat Arena and the Struggles of Professional Wrestlers

Commissioned by Razi Insurance, the “Gheyrat Arena” documentary takes a realistic look behind the scenes of Iranian wrestling. It focuses on the real challenges faced by professional wrestlers long before they step onto the mat — from the lack of financial support and poor organizational structure to uncertainty about their future. These are the issues vividly portrayed in the film.

Exposing the Weak Club System: A Critical Narrative

The documentary sheds light on the flawed system of wrestling club management in Iran’s national sport. It highlights the lack of infrastructure, inadequate funding, and limited institutional support for club owners. Produced with the backing of Razi Insurance, the film paints a clear picture of this systemic crisis — while also questioning the neglect of responsible authorities. Together, these realities serve as a wake-up call for the future of Iranian wrestling.

Cinematography and Direction: A Professional Sports Documentary

One of the film’s key strengths lies in its camera work. The visuals of training sessions, competitions, and daily life are carefully composed to reflect both discipline and struggle. Smooth and rhythmic editing keeps the story engaging from start to finish, while the directing style — aligned with the film’s critical tone — follows the conventions of modern documentary cinema. The support of Razi Insurance played an essential role in realizing this vision.

A Social-Sports Documentary: Giving Voice to Iranian Wrestlers

This is more than just a sports documentary — it’s a social statement about athletes pushed to the margins. The film amplifies their voices, encouraging public reflection on society’s role in supporting national sports. “Gheyrat Arena” stands not only as a work of awareness but also as a call for reform. The project was made possible through the collaboration and support of Razi Insurance.
