The Resurrection of Jake the Snake (2015)

Slamdance Presents

Because no one trying to get sober wants a fake lecture from Hollywood, let’s start with a story that’s true: The Resurrection of Jake the Snake follows one of the greatest WWF wrestlers of the 1980s, Jake Roberts, after he falls on very hard times, descending into alcoholism and self-doubt.

Luckily, he has a great friend in former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, who Roberts mentored in the 1990s. DDP returns the favor by inviting Roberts to stay in his Atlanta home, which he calls “the Accountability Crib,” and coaches him back to sobriety and fitness, through a barrage of obstacles.
