About the Film & Why It Matters

LUCHA follows the lives of young women navigating challenges that extend far beyond the wrestling mat. At its core, the film is about resilience, opportunity, belonging, and the power of community to change lives.

Those same themes inspired the creation of LaunchPad Collective.

Through LaunchPad, we are working to address many of the systemic barriers highlighted in the film by creating pathways to housing stability, economic opportunity, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and community wellness for youth and families in San Bernardino.

If LUCHA resonates with you, we invite you to support the next chapter of this work. Every viewing, share, and contribution helps us continue building opportunities for young people and families who deserve the chance to thrive.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
