Vierte Welle Film Festival presents:

Ni una menos – Zum Internationalen Tag zur Beseitigung von Gewalt gegen Frauen

Luchadoras (OmeU)

Monday, 25 November, 8:00 pm

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Vierte Welle Film Festival is screening “Luchadoras”, a Mexican documentary from 2021.

Violence against women continues to be a reality in our societies in different ways.
Even claiming to support women’s rights in different parts of the world and especially in Latin American countries, abusers and perpetrators of violence continue to hold important political positions.

We stand strongly against sexist violence. we seek to make this reality visible and we believe that informed, united women can protect and uplift each other through sisterhood and support.
This screening focuses on the fight for women’s rights, the defence of equality and the construction of a fairer and safer world.

D/FIN 2021, 92 min, Regie: Paola Calvo und Patrick Jasim

Frau sein in Ciudad Juarez, Mexiko, ist lebensgefährlich. Die Stadt ist weltweit bekannt für Gewalt, Drogenkartelle und Femizide – Gewaltverbrechen an Frauen. »Luchadoras« ist ein intimes Portrait über mutige Frauen, die in ihrem vom Machismo geprägten Alltag um die Deutungshoheit über das Frauenbild in Mexiko kämpfen.

Lady Candy, Mini Sirenita und Baby Star sind in ihrem Alltag und im Ring der traditionellen mexikanischen Lucha Libre Wrestlerinnen und sind lokal als Teil einer weltweiten Empowerment Bewegung aktiv. Sie zeigen, dass jede, die sich gegen ihre Angst und die Angstmacher stellt, Heldin ihrer eigenen Geschichte werden kann.

Ciudad Juarez, the “Murder City”, claims thousands of victims every year as drug cartels clash with government forces in the so called “War on Drugs”. The city also coined the term “femicide” in Mexico and is the epicenter of a wave of murder and hate crimes on women throughout the country in which the culprits hardly ever get caught. The film is an intimate portrait of three courageous female wrestlers (Luchadoras) from Juarez who, despite being surrounded by machismo and in constant danger both, in the ring, and in their daily life’s, fight to redefine the image of what it means to be a woman in Mexico.

The short statued Mini Serinita, who’s biggest dream is to become a full time Luchadora and leave the factory work that disenfranchises so many women in Juarez for good. Lady Candy, who can see the U.S. side of the border, where her daughters were taken, from the window of her house but due to visa regulations can never cross it. And Baby Star, the young single mother who was a Lucha Libre Star at an early age and now makes her way to a come back. With Mexican passion they present an image of being woman that is strong, loud and confident. They are Luchadoras, female fighters in Mexican wrestling, known as Lucha Libre.
