Against the Ropes
Created by Carolina Rivera
On Netflix
A character-driven drama about a female wrestler navigating motherhood, family separation, and redemption after incarceration, grounded in the lucha libre world.
They say being a woman is all a business and maybe it's true. We are complicated, complex and we look at life differently, exactly what Carolina Rivera captures in 'On the ropes', the new Netflix series that 'unmasks' life's struggles and puts the subject of motherhood on the agenda.
