I saw this short documentary at the Philadelphia Film Festival and it was the best of the six they showed.

I liked "Little Miss Sumo" and it left me wanting more--to know more about this lady, more about women's amateur sumo AND the cultural taboos against women performing in the ring (which really wasn't addressed in the film). None of this is a serious complaint....more that I would have enjoyed seeing this story fleshed out into a full-length documentary instead of this short one. Well made...and probably more so to folks like me since I actually enjoy sumo and have even attending a tournament in Japan.

A female sumo wrestler fights against tradition and stigma to win her place in the ring.
