Overview

In Mexico — where luchador wrestling is a wildly popular spectator sport — donning capes, masks and lace-up boots in the ring isn’t solely the vocation of men. Meet Luna Mágica, a hard-working single mother and professional wrestler in Mexico City, whose lucha takes place both in and outside of the ropes. Not only does Luna struggle to retain her status amid a growing crop of young female wrestlers, she also fights for custody of the son who was taken by her estranged ex-husband.
