Has anyone run across the Super Amigos documentary out of Mexico?


These Super Amigos are: Ecologista Universal, Super Animal, Super Barrio and Super Gay. This is how they dress in public as they wrestle as activists. Super Gay's story is sad. He and his partner were bashed one night by a group of thugs and his partner died. Since then, he's been Super Gay and works in the Mexico City community.

The doc is in Spanish with English subtitles. It's pretty cool and sometimes Link runs it. Super Barrio fights evictions, Super Animal is trying to get bullighting banned and Ecologista tries to green up the city.

There's an interview with Super Gay here but I don't understand it because I think the subtitles are in Dutch or something. :blush:

1. Watch it now before it is banned.
I mean, a documentary featuring Mexicans who promote ecological awareness, with sub titles in Dutch?

And one of the super heroes is Gay?

2. He's Super Gay. And he looks like a very young person.
In the film he does an interview with the mother of his slain lover. She won't go on camera because she's afraid to be targeted. But as she safely could, she participated.
