Duncan McLeod ( who is involved in Lucha Va Voom ) is making a documentary: LA LUCHA (The Struggle), which explores the racial and homoerotic tensions in the sport of lucha libre.
La Lucha, the seminal documentary on this topic, explores the larger world of Lucha Libre through the touchstone of the WPW league and school, where the tradition is being carefully preserved. The wrestlers themselves have learned an art form that will gain them great notoriety and instant respect, should they ever venture across the border back to Mexico. Some hope to move on to the WWF – a shot at American stardom. The dreams and struggles of these young wrestlers are carefully documented and brought to light through the camera eye. - McLeod
The film will be released on DVD in a couple of months and we can’t wait to see it.
