Luchadora is a film that seeks to break the mold through its main character: a plus-sized, female “luchadora.” Lucha libre is a staple of Mexican culture, and hundreds of films have been made starring the most popular luchadores since the 1950s. However, despite females being present in lucha libre, not many films have ever been made about luchadoras. Luchadoras have gained a lot of popularity in Mexico over the last few decades, yet their male counterparts remain more present in the media. Luchadora brings to light this group of underrepresented women and gives a fresh take on lucha libre films. Representation in film is always an uphill battle. Although steps have been made to diversify film and TV, many people still feel unseen and unheard by the lack of diversity in the industry. ”Luchadora” is more than just a story about overcoming self-doubt and insecurities. It is the struggle of womanhood as well. Women spend decades working hard to achieve something, only to be underestimated simply because they are women.
