MAMACHAS DEL RING / MAMACHAS OF THE RING
DIRECTOR: BETTY M. PARK
BOLIVIA-US / 75 min
Set in the heights of the Bolivian Andes, Mamachas del Ring is the story of Carmen Rosa the Champion, an indigenous woman who struggles to make it on her own in the male-dominated world of Bolivian professional wrestling. Up until Carmen arrived, Bolivia had never seen an indigenous woman take her petticoats and bowler hat into the ring, and the crowds couldn't get enough. But the pressures of daily living and gendered responsibilities begin to eat away at Carmen, until one day her husband issues her a firm ultimatum: wrestling or your family.

EBONY GODDESS: QUEEN OF ILÊ AIYÊ
DIRECTOR: CAROLINA MORAES-LIU
BRAZIL-US / 20 min
Ebony Goddess follows three women as they compete in the Carnival Queen beauty pageant. With its close association to the African-originated religion of Candomblé, the film defines the new standard of female beauty in a society where African descendents constitute the majority of the population, yet Eurocentric concepts of beauty are pervasive.

DIRECTOR: RICARDO GAMBOA
US / 6 min
Cinema, real city gritty, and spoken word pretty combine as poet Ricardo Gamboa reflects on his aunt, her alcoholism and struggles of Latinos of Chicago's Southside. The film extends beyond familial coping to address that intersection of frustrated dreams and opportunity confronting Latinas in today's urban landscapes.
20 AÑOS / 20 YEARS
DIRECTOR: BÁRBARO JOEL ORTIZ
CUBA / 15 min

ELLA ES EL MATADOR / SHE IS THE MATADOR
DIRECTORS: GEMMA CUBERO, CELESTE CARRASCO
SPAIN / 62 min
Nothing expresses Spain's traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter's masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. This film reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law unnecessary and offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the arena: the acclaimed Mari Paz Vega and Italian-born, Eva Florencia. The film is winner of the All Access Creative Promise Award for Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival.
