Fighters is a portrait of the current realities of both the urban and rural Mexican woman. Filmed in Mexico City and the State of Zacatecas this film documents the primary circumstances, difficulties, obstacles and preoccupations that women face daily in this country. Poverty, hunger, * machismo*, mass migration, and social inequality -- these are some of the issues that are explored through their testimonies. Women from various professions, ages and social-economic statuses share their stories and their hopes for the future, and create a portrait of a Mexico where women are taking more of a central role.
