Boxing has always been the sport that best represents Mexican culture of sacrifice and a fighting spirit in the face of adversity. This 105-minute documentary tells the story of four warriors who fight inside and outside the ring to find their place in a sport that wasn't designed for them.
Directed and produced by Daniela Uriza, the documentary aims to showcase the role of women in professional boxing. It features three-time world champion Ibeth Zamora and world champion Lupita Martínez, along with Italian boxer Camila Panatta and promoter Mariana Caballero. Through these stories, Uriza seeks to demonstrate that women can also succeed in "a sport that accepted them but wasn't designed for them."
The documentary premiered this Thursday, February 19th, in Cinemex theaters and is expected to be available for two weeks initially.
"Rómpete la Madre" is more than just a sports documentary about women and boxing. The documentary presents a series of situations demonstrating that women, for nearly twenty-seven years, have been able to enter the ring in a sport that was long overdue for women's inclusion. It was in the 1990s that Mexican boxer Laura Serrano, in May 1999, faced American legend Christy Martin at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a unanimous draw in six rounds, she opened the doors forever to Mexican women's boxing, leading to its official recognition in Mexico in 1999.
The documentary features four-time world champion Juan Manuel Márquez and the president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Sulaimán, who reaffirm the dedication, sacrifice, and responsibility of women, from the streets to the gym and then to the ring.
