Directors: Roger Ross Williams, Saúl Armendáriz
In “Cassandro,” directed by Roger Ross Williams and Saúl Armendáriz, the documentary delves into the extraordinary journey of Saúl Armendáriz, an amateur wrestler from El Paso, Texas. Armendáriz, a homosexual trailblazer, achieves international stardom by creating the flamboyant character, Cassandro, often referred to as the ‘Liberace of Lucha Libre.’ The film explores not only his impact on the traditionally macho wrestling world but also the profound personal transformations that Armendáriz undergoes. Williams and Armendáriz collaboratively bring to life a compelling narrative that captures the intersection of identity, fame, and the courage to challenge societal norms in the pursuit of self-expression. “Cassandro” promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of an individual who not only revolutionizes wrestling but also transforms his own life in the process.
