Trailer

Why watch this film?

The plot is so strange it seems unreal, but the truth is that 'Nacho Libre' has its origin in a real story. With the goal of raising money for the children in his care, priest Sergio Gutierrez debuted incognito in Mexican wrestling as Fray Tormenta in 1974. He didn't make as much money as he had hoped, but he became a legend that inspired the creators of 'Napoleon Dynamite'.
