In the new documentary CASSANDRO, THE EXOTICO! we meet the titular luchador, who has been a prize-winning fighter on his own fierce terms for a quarter-century and counting. A wrestler who reinvented a staunchly macho sport, he exudes resilience of all kinds — from the physical power to leave his opponents KOed to an ability to revisit past trauma and cope with the scars of a body pushed to its limits. ⁣ CASSANDRO, THE EXOTICO starts Friday, August 16.⁣ ⁣ #𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬 #Detroit #cinemadetroit #luchalibremexicana #directedbywomen #LGBTQ #luchalibre #womenfilmmakers #everymonthispridemonth
