El Presidente! Jeremy Solterbeck, US, 2006 10:00pm

Welcome to Cabo San Luchas, land of punk rock, Mexican wrestling and corrupt politics. When the town’s wrestling hero, El Homo Loco, decides to run for president, he gets swept up into the glamorous life of a celebrity candidate. His bright pink Mohawk flies in the face of his opponents, who don’t take kindly to his interloping. An endless parade of people either want to bring him down or get him off, including his brother, a closeted skinhead trick, a fiendish fashionista, and some political moles. Will he give in to corporate sponsorship and be corrupted by the heterosexual agenda? Will he win the election? More importantly, will he win the wrestling match?  Video, 55 min.
