SXSW 2021 - Luchadoras Co-Director Paola Calvo

Send us Fan MailWe had a lot of fun chatting with co-director of the SXSW documentary Luchadoras (and our new best friend) Paola Calvo.  The documentary follows four badass lady wrestlers who live in what is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. As if the work they do isn't hard enough, just existing as a woman in this town is a threat to their lives. We discuss feminism, borders, and the importance of comradery between the women of Lucha Libre.  And to cap it off, your girls at Bitch Talk may have secured a trip to Mexico to join the ladies of Lucha Libre in the ring!
