Ma Bar
NEW DOCS
“Losing,” says 73-year-old Bill McFadyen, a Scottish competitive powerlifter who can bench-press over 350 pounds, “I don’t tolerate.” Ma Bar is McFadyen’s war cry as he defies our ideas of what it is to be a senior citizen. Beautifully shot, this short captures the athleticism and passion of a man driven to be the best no matter his age. NT
