Looking forward to watching this
Does anyone know how or where you can watch outside of this festival and or in Canada?
There's currently no plans outside of the Festival scene.
I’ll check with Gerard next time I speak with him if he is planning any Canadian festivals.

Man
looks like a really interesting movie. I love documentaries, especially ones that show both sides of an individual. I hope this really delves into Evan Tanner the person who battled demons and isn’t just two hours of “he was a great man that did no wrong”. Not that I revel in peoples struggles, but as a man who has faced (and continues to) face many of his own, it really helps to paint a clearer picture of someone to really understand what they have been through, good and bad. High hopes for this. Very intriguing individual.
I reviewed it for HeadKickLegend
It isn’t a fluff movie. There are legitimately friends of his who just got burned too much to keep talking about how awesome he was and only see the negatives.

I cant wait to see this film.
I wonder who they will cast to play the great Evan Tanner. Maybe Gerald Butler.. Any suggestions?
If Dana White is in the movie they should just get him to play himself. that would be cool.. If not, they could cast Vin diesel.

Is there somewhere to watch this online?
There is a documentary series called “Epicly Later’d” about skateboarders that’s excellent. Each episode is on one legendary skater, and the depth and detail they go into is exactly what the fans want to see. I hope this is like that.
speaking of evan tanner
anyone know where to buy a decent looking evan tanner t-shirt? or for that matter, any vintage mma shirts?
I hope I can figure out how to watch this

Will this eventually be released on DVD? I hope so.

Guys, so you have the info
Gerard has been submitting to the Film Festival scene. After that he and the producers will decide what to do next. It is likely there will be a dvd release.
As far as watching it online? No dice. This is being held close to the vest until after all the festivals.
