This documentary, directed and produced by Stephen DeBro, tells the rich history of Los Angeles’ iconic Olympic Auditorium—a space that served as a hub for boxing, wrestling, roller derby, and countless cultural events that shaped the city’s identity. It is not only an LA sports story but also a larger story about labor, race, gender, and community in Los Angeles.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with the filmmaker Stephen DeBro and Professor Rudy Mondragón, exploring the film’s themes and the legacy of the Olympic Auditorium.
