About a Bull

Overview

In the world of Bosnian bullfighting, women are rarely seen in the audience, let alone in the arena. Martina Batista is a 17-year-old girl who decided to take on the burden of her family tradition and step into the arena herself. She made that decision when she was 12 years old and has been a regular winner with three of her bulls. We follow her daily routine and learn about the reasons behind her decision to take that path and her attitude towards this sport. Through one of the fights in the arena, we see how this very male-dominated culture treats a young girl.
