📹Bright skirts, braids and bowler hats are the typical attire of a cholita, a Bolivian wrestling fighter. Despite the fact that all lucha libre shows are pre-planned, the women in the ring do receive real injuries. They have to treat them at their own expense, however, as the cholitas have no health insurance. The performers wear national dresses for the spectacular show of fighting, which involves throwing each other over their heads and mimicking fights. Each show draws crowds of locals and tourists. As a rule, girls from poor Indian tribes perform in the lucha libre. These staged fights are a way to earn a living for their families. Watch our film The Good, The Bad and the Loco (2017) about these unusual women fights. FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channe
