FIGHTING CHOLITAS 2006 Fighting Cholitas is a documentary short produced by Mariam Jobrani, Kenneth Krauss and Teresa Deskins, about a group of bold and fierce female Bolivian wrestlers.  These indigenous, Indian women jump into the ring every Sunday in their traditional, vibrant multilayered skirts and perform the acrobatic maneuvers of Lucha Libre (a blend of Mexican and American professional wrestling).  Fighting Cholitas documents this weekly fight and goes behind the scenes to find out who these women are and what draws them to this unusual sport. Every Sunday, hundreds of men, women and children pack the Multifunctional Auditorium in El Alto, Bolivia, a sprawling lower income extension of La Paz.  They come to watch fights between good and evil where good is usually triumphant.  Families attend regularly every week and for an entry fee of $1 per person, escape for an afternoon of live entertainment and “justice served in the ring.”
