Finale
Take a tour under the Big Top with Trudy Strong, aerial artist, tiger trainer and 50-year circus veteran. Crafted by director David Strong, this colorful yet tender documentary celebrates the Strong family’s five-generation circus legacy through dramatic historical footage and personal recollections.
Finale is the story of a changing family – and a changing cultural phenomenon. Trudy recalls growing up in a close-knit circus community, where the craft passed naturally from parent to child and small towns across the country rallied to welcome the traveling show. But will today’s generation of circus artists share those simple joys?
From the adventures of life on the road to the deep rewards of befriending a group of tigers, Trudy Strong’s story sheds new light on the hearts, minds and souls behind the face paint and sequins. A rare opportunity for viewers young and old to see the circus through new eyes.
