In the world of sports there has long been a paradigm of sexual orientation, but it is a fight that athletes fight every day to be able to exercise their sexuality freely without being judged.

In today’s world, issues of gender identity and sexuality are day-to-day problems, as there is still a lot of discrimination. Can you imagine how it used to be? When people had much more stigma and we did not have the education and communication of today? Can you imagine these problems with a wrestler? This is Cassandro’s story.

A gay wrestler’s story premieres on Amazon Prime Video

On Amazon Prime Video has recently released the movie of Cassando, starring the successful actor Gael Garcia Bernal, who personifies Saul Armendariz.

Saul Armendariz, a gay amateur wrestler from El Paso who rises to worldwide fame after creating the character of Cassandro, the “Liberace of Lucha Libre.” In the process, he not only drastically turns the traditionally masculine world of wrestling on its head, but also his own life.

Critics have given it a thumbs up, indicating that the film is watchable and good for the digital format that the platform offers us.

“The gay hero you didn’t know you needed (…) Ross Williams nimbly sidesteps clichés in this respectful biopic of the Mexican wrestler.”- Peter Debruge: Variety

“An entertaining biopic that’s also a magnificent ode to the love between a mother and son and an exhilarating exploration of queer identity in a macho environment.”- The Hollywood Reporter

And if you’re still not convinced to watch the story of this eccentric and unique wrestler, maybe knowing that Bad Bunny performs there and has a homoerotic moment will change your mind. Watch Cassandro on Amazon Prime Video
