Let me just say that it is great that Hollywood’s unsung heroes and heroines are getting the spotlight with this documentary but it doesn’y settle the issue that stunt professionals need to be recognized for the work that they do like receiving a category for Best Stunts at the Oscars and it’s a crying shame to this day that the Academy snubs them every year. Numerous men and women have also lost their lives or have bee seriously injured performing stunts on film and we need to come together as a collective whole to give them their just dos.

“Having produced many action films, it is my great pleasure to showcase the real action stars… the stunt people,said CEO/President of Rootbeer Films Lenny Shapiro.

There is no relase date info as of yet as the doc was just completed so keep it locked and loaded right here for more to come and lets do our part to get these great entertainers the recognition they deserve!
