GRIND – FILM SYNOPSIS
This format-bending profile of Robert Black Wilmote reveals the story of a Liberian refugee forced to flee the most drastic and terrible circumstances imaginable. Having narrowly escaped the ravages of war in Africa, Robert’s struggles continue in the U.S. when he succumbs to the gangster lifestyle, only to become a convicted felon in Newark, New Jersey. At his absolute bottom, Robert knew he was meant for greater good. Through dramatic reenactments, featuring Robert Wilmote himself, we discover how Robert’s passion for fitness and helping others empowered him to transcend a life of violence and become a legend.
You have to find something deep in your heart that will make you change.
