When Adil Malik was 25, his life was turned Upside Down after being diagnosed with kidney cancer.
But three years on, The Professional wrestler has won his fight and turned his personal battle into a documentary to help others.

" There's a stigma with diseases like cancer, people just want to forget about it, " he says.

Adil hopes there will be greater education around The subject and wants The Documentary to inform people about kidney cancer.
" Know your body is normal and don't Be Afraid to get yourself checked out, " he says.
