Christian Newswire/ -- WP Films, the independent film studio behind the hit "God Adventure" trilogy FINGER OF GOD, FURIOUS LOVE and FATHER OF LIGHTS – as well as the high profile 2014 hit HOLY GHOST – is once again challenging Hollywood's established model and shattering stereotypes with its new film about Christian UFC fighter Ken Shamrock in THE GREATEST FIGHT.
"This is a complete break in subject matter for WP Films. While the movie focuses on Ken Shamrock and his life, it maintains all the themes from our previous films: redemption, faith, grace, light, and darkness." Director Darren Wilson adds, "Ken's story is so fascinating because he's such an open book—honest almost to a fault. Throughout this entire process, we both took the stance that no matter what; we were going to tell an honest story. We push the boundaries of what a faith-based film is allowed to do with this one, and it's not entirely flattering of Ken all the time. But at the end of the day, it's a brutally honest portrayal of someone that a lot of people love and look up to."
THE GREATEST FIGHT, produced by WP Films, will have its world release and Online Premiere on June 18, 2015, and viewers can go to
thegreatestfight.com to get their tickets for this event now. On June 19, Ken will be fighting Kimbo Slice live and free on Spike TV for Bellator 138.

THE GREATEST FIGHT is a documentary that is both poignant and unflinching in its honesty. A film six years in the making, it follows Ken through what were thought to be his final three fights and the apparent crumbling of a legend. But thankfully for Ken's fans, that was not the end of the story, and Ken opens up in this film about both his darkest days as well as his spiritual awakening. All opinions and speculation about Shamrock will be silenced as you see everything from Ken's violent childhood, his rise in the world of MMA, as well as intimate scenes with his children and grandchildren. Longtime fans will certainly soak up this personal look into Ken's life, while casual fans will encounter a story of brokenness and ultimate redemption.
