WORLD PREMIERE

After more than 80 years of arriving in the United States, charrería, Mexico's national sport, faces two of its most significant challenges: survival and growth.

Year after year, American Union teams encounter personal, economic, and social challenges as they strive to reach the National Charrería, the highest charro competition in Mexico.

The practice of charrería has spread from border states like California, Arizona, and Texas to more remote states such as Washington, Illinois, and Wyoming. This expansion has made the practice of charrería more challenging due to unfavorable weather conditions in these areas. The inclement weather makes it dangerous for both the rider and the horse to engage in the sport.
