The Plot

The Herro’s Journey is a feature documentary that explores the powerful bond between a father and son set against the backdrop of independent professional wrestling. Filmed over two years across the Midwest, it follows veteran promoter David Herro as he pours everything into keeping his wrestling promotion alive—not for fame or fortune, but to build a future for his son Kal. As Kal steps into the ring to forge his own identity, the story becomes a heartfelt portrait of legacy, love, and the unspoken sacrifices made to help the next generation rise. At its core, this is a story about family, devotion, and the fight to pass on something that truly matters.
