Debra Granik Presents ConBody VS Everybody

Director: Debra Granik

2025 / 332min / DCP

Shot over the course of eight years and making its New York theatrical premiere at Metrograph, Winter’s Bone director Granik’s limited series follows ex-con-turned-CEO Coss Marte in the day-to-day operation of the Lower East Side fitness center that he founded, ConBody, where clients can learn the sort of stripped-down, intensive workout routines one develops in the confinement of a prison cell, and where Marte provides a second chance to other formerly incarcerated people via offering them gainful employment as trainers. An extraordinary story of not only one man beating the odds, but of many, many men and women facing the struggle to find new purchase in a society they’ve fallen out of step with while “on the inside,” a struggle in which the chances of recidivism are overwhelming. The screening includes a workout opportunity during intermission led by trainers from ConBody.

Introduction and Q&A with director Debra Granik and ConBody founder Coss Marte on Sunday, April 26th
