STYLEBENDER is an intimate look at Israel Adesanya, the Nigerian-born, New Zealand-based MMA champion, which goes beyond the octagon and delves deep into an unlikely fighter's journey. Exploring Israel’s experiences of masculinity, bullying, mental health and the healing power of dance, the film is a poignant examination of the complex, electrifying and sometimes controversial figure known as 'The Last Stylebender.'The film had its an international premiere at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. The film was shot over a five-year period and features unprecedented access to the UFC World Middleweight Champion and his team.
