Chris Bournea

In this episode, Chris Bournea, director of the documentary "Lady Wrestler: The Amazing, Untold Story of African-American Women in the Ring," explores why wrestling is perhaps the only sport in which women are the main attraction but men make up most of the fanbase. Offering insight are John Orlando, host of the PVDcast podcast; Nick Alexander, co-host of the 10 Bell Pod podcast;  and filmmaker Antonio Hernandez, director of the "#SOUTHSIDESUPLEX" documentary about African-American wrestling star Trish Adora.

The full-length "Lady Wrestler" documentary, which chronicles courageous Black women who broke racial and gender boundaries in pro wrestling in the 1950s and '60s, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. For more information, visit the Lady Wrestler Amazon Prime Video page or LadyWrestlerMovie.com
