In this episode of Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham sits down with Josh Lee, the wrestling coach featured in the award-winning documentary LUCHA: A Wrestling Tale, now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon.
Together, Sasha and Josh explore the lives of the young female wrestlers at the center of the film—especially Shirley, whose determination and resilience reflect the heart of girls' wrestling and the power of sport to create opportunity. Josh shares an honest look at the challenges many of these athletes face both on and off the mat, including homelessness, food insecurity, and systemic inequities, and how wrestling became a lifeline.
The conversation also dives into the ethics of storytelling in underserved communities, the rapid growth of the nonprofit Lucha Wrestling Club, and what it truly means to coach with compassion, trust, and accountability. Josh reflects on how authentic sports storytelling can spark change—and why wrestling is uniquely positioned to empower young women who are often overlooked.
LUCHA is more than a wrestling documentary—it's a testament to the transformative power of girls' sports and a catalyst for hundreds of middle school and high school girls discovering wrestling for the first time.
