Lucha Mexico (DVD)

The high- flying documentary Lucha Mexico takes you into the impassioned world of lucha libre wrestling, where masked warriors fight mythological battles in the squared circle. Directors Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz were given access to all the major lucha organizations, and take you deep inside the Mexican lucha libre culture, documenting its rich traditions and colorful style. The heart of the film is the second-generation luchador the Shocker, the self-proclaimed “1000% Guapo” superstar who suffers a serious injury and faces the reality of life without wrestling. A hard-hitting spectacle of high spots and low blows, Lucha Mexico is a must-see for both pro wrestling fans and those who fight for what they believe in.
