Lucha Libre, a form of professional wrestling, is a cultural phenomenon in Mexico. Distinguished by its colorful masks and acrobatic moves, the sport has a rich legacy dating back over a century.

Apple pays homage to Lucha Libre in the first installment of its long-running “Shot on iPhone” campaign to be produced entirely in Mexico.
