From SYN Media in Melbourne, Erin Dick takes us into her world via A Love Letter to Wrestling, an ode to the place where she found her people.

Supervising production from Lynda McCaffery. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

Mindless violence? 

Or, a sanctuary for storytelling? 

Professional wrestling is more than meets the eye.

When Deathmatch Downunder’s Erin Dick became a born-again professional wrestling fan in her early twenties, she didn’t expect to fall into the embrace of a community of oddballs and outsiders who would help her find her place in the world.

Special Thanks
Lynda McCaffery for production support and coming along for the ride
Joel Bateman, Jacqui Picone, Charli Evans, and Callen Butcher for sharing a piece of their hearts
William He for saving the day with his sound effects
The community of friends and mentors who listened to the many edits of this passion project

City to the bush, coast to coast, since 2013 the NFDS has commissioned audio works from all over Australia by budding community radio producers.
