Clara Sofie - Die 1. Deutsche Stierkämpferin

Clara Sofie - The 1st German Bullfighter

"A female German bullfighter? Impossible!" was the reaction of an aficionado upon hearing about Clara Sofie Kreutter. The feature documentary "Clara Sofie - The 1st German Bullfighter" powerfully shows how the impossible becomes reality. Award-winning screenwriter/director Donald Schubert and his international film crew accompanied the young German dressage rider and "Rejoneadora," for one year throughout her first bullfighting season ("temporada"). Who is this talented woman who grew up on a small farm in Germany, with no prior connection to the taurine culture? How could an animal-loving dressage rider discover her talent for deadly bullfighting? And how does one cope, when celebrated by crowds in Spain and Portugal, but confronted with hostility at home, including criminal charges filed by the global animal rights organization PETA?

"Clara Sofie - The 1st German Bullfighter" offers fascinating insights into a culture living next door, featuring exclusive and breathtaking footage. The true and emotional story of a young woman who followed her calling—and the price she had to pay.
