With State having been completed over a month ago, we at Luctacio production felt that although the main subject of our documentary is Kiara Djoumessi and her inspirational story about conquering her goal of being a champion. We also think that all the talented women who participated in this year's inaugural girls' state wrestling tournament. With over 1300 girls participating in the tournament all have earned their roses and accolades but only 1 from each weight class this year could be named the best of the best.
