«La Loca y el Feminista» is a conversation with no return. A conversation about what the exercise of feminism means and the use that we give to a word that has become fashionable, also among men. A couple’s conversation about the unequal distribution of household chores,the extra burden that she assumes and his unconsciousness about what her attitude really means. He, who is a committed feminist, and she, who is going to question it based on a request that is an ultimatum: please, do not say again that you are a feminist.

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.
