Wild Women by Anka Schmid / Switzerland / 96 min / 2015 / PGNamayca, Carmen, Nadezhda, Aliya, and Anosa are charismatic animal tamers from four different countries, who work in the circus training tigers, lions, and bears. The film illuminates the harsh reality beneath the sparkling veneer of the circus and offers a respectful view into the lives of these artistic performers. Always in conflict between feminine gentleness and commanding toughness, these women struggle for their existence both as women and as tamers – a profession that may soon be outlawed.
