Photographer Ivan Kashinsky takes us on a behind-the-scenes journey into the lives of Bolivia's women wrestlers known as Cholitas. The story is based on the September 2008 National Geographic story. The film follows the experiences and lives of three different women who have become icons in their country whose amazing story not only represents an amazing and unusual lifestyle - but also represents female empowerment in a country with traditional male dominating values.
