Pearland Aquatics to Bring New Film Touch the Wall to Pearland

    PEARLAND, TX, February 28, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Join Pearland Aquatics as we dive into "Touch the Wall", a documentary about passion, success, perseverance and dedication in the sport of swimming. Pearland Aquatics will be hosting a one-time screening of Touch the Wall at Cinemark at Pearland and XD on March 26 at 6:30. The cost is $12.00.

Swimming phenom and Olympic Gold Medalist Missy Franklin was destined for greatness at an early age, but it wasn't until the arrival of Veteran Kara Lynn Joyce that those sky-high expectations began to take shape. As training partners, competitors, and friends, Missy and Kara redefine what it means to win.

Touch the Wall is the story of two amazing women and their journey to swimming's highest stage - the 2012 London Olympics. The young phenom (Missy Franklin) is just beginning her career and is saddled with mile-high expectations; the veteran (Kara Lynn Joyce) is trying to rediscover the juice that took her the previous two Olympics. Touch the Wall is a story of winning and losing, of commitment, and triumph through adversity. It's also a story of family, of loving what you do, and having fun with the people around you. In a world starved for heroes, Missy and Kara stand tall in Touch the Wall.

The film is being screened through Tugg.com, a platform that helps individuals and organizations to host screenings in their local theaters. Tickets can be purchased at: https://www.tugg.com/events/13386
