In Mexico, the war between good and evil has been waged each week for decades, thrilling generations of fans with the spectacle of Lucha Libre. Real-life superheroes and villains, these masked wrestlers work tirelessly to entertain their legions of fans. Directors Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz gained unprecedented access to the largest Lucha federations to make Lucha Mexico, and they offer an entertaining, no-holds-barred look at some of the sport’s top performers, from the “1000% Guapo” Shocker, little person mascot KeMonito, Luchador heir Blue Demon Jr, hardcore wrestler El Hijo Del Perro Aguayo, and American bodybuilder Jon “Strongman” Andersen.
