It follows six different interweaving stories -- an artist questioning her place in the world; a fired lawyer who dons a superhero mask; two high school friends reuniting in a way that might finally become more; a lost traveller constrained by a language barrier; an altered observer who lives to capture life through his lens; and a dedicated volunteer, more focused on others than the art. All are in a period of transition in their lives, and on this one night, they will all come together, connecting, and changing each others lives forever.

James Billie is no ordinary leader--he is the man who forever changed the destiny of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. A decorated Vietnam veteran, award-winning musician, fearless alligator wrestler, and the "father of Indian casinos," Billie rose from humble beginnings to become the most influential Native American figure of the past century. Charismatic and controversial, he lifted his people from crushing poverty to unprecedented prosperity, but not without epic battles and bitter conflict.
Wrestling Alligators traces the Seminoles' remarkable journey, from their mythic survival in the swamps against U.S. soldiers to the opening of a small bingo hall in 1979 that exploded into a multi-billion-dollar gaming empire. Along the way, Billie locked horns with sheriffs, governors, federal officials, and even his own tribe, as power, money, and tradition collided. This sweeping portrait is both a story of one man's extraordinary life and a gripping saga of Native resilience, cultural pride, and the price of leadership. More than a biography, it is a cinematic tale of survival, ambition, betrayal, and triumph that asks: what does it take to wrestle with history--and win? This is a re-release of this 2015 film festival favorite film. It has been updated with a revised ending reflecting the current status of things.
