Christian Zyp interviews Kate Kroll (director/producer) about her feature documentary LUNATIC: THE LUNA VACHON STORY. It's screening Thursday April 24th @ 6:30 pm at the Globe Cinema as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF). Kate will be in attendance for the Q&A following the screening.

LUNATIC profiles the complex life of famed WWF women's wrestler Luna Vachon who, while battling for glory inside the wrestling ring, was also battling her inner demons outside the ring. Born into a wrestling dynasty, Trudy Vachon transformed into Luna “The Lunatic” Vachon, a formidable force in the WWF during the “Attitude Era” in the late 1990s early 2000s. Known for her intimidating presence and unparalleled skill, Luna shattered stereotypes, inspiring a generation of women to embrace their strength and challenge the status quo. Beyond the wrestling ring, however, Luna battled personal demons, including the guilt of balancing motherhood with her career, a bipolar diagnosis, abuse, and addiction. The film poignantly portrays the duality of Luna’s life, revealing the sensitive woman beneath the hardened exterior.
