El Viejo

I am biased because I have known Thom Ortiz for 10 years, but El Viejo blew me away. Beautiful story about the power of Love and Positive Intentions. I walked away with so many Ah Ha moments; importance of going after your dreams everyday for the rest of your life, what an Advisory Board of Supporters can do to help reach goals, focusing on Spiritual/Mental/Physical to make yourself a better person and so many other life changing ideas come from this movie. One last comment....the movie is incredibly entertaining. I was riveted for an hour and thankful what my chance to watch El Viejo!

This documentary film captures the warrior spirit at heart. In a time when strong masculine role models seem to be waning in the mainstream, El Viejo shows how one Phoenix man cuts through the noise by turning his knowledge as an all American wrestler to use within his community while preparing for his pro-MMA debut. Thom proves that family, work, service, and dreams can coexist.

Inspirational story of a guy who challenged himself physically at age 50. Thom is a very positive guy & it shows throughout the documentary. The production is well done as well, it is worth the purchase.

It was very inspirational and motivating.
