In overcrowded Mexico City, pollution, corruption, and injustice spiral out of control. But wait, help is on the way! Superheroes burst upon the scene to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Meet five real-life masked Lucha Libre wrestlers who might have leapt out of a progressive avenger comic book: they are thoughtful organizers and they are adept at flipping an opponent onto the mat. While this is fantastic material, our skepticism melts as Torres' street-level film brings us to the front lines: Super Barrio helps tenants fight evictions, Super Animal single-handedly challenges the entrenched bull-fighting culture, Ecologista Universal takes his crusade against overpackaging to the checkout line, and Super Gay commandeers a city park to fight gay bashing. (PS)
