Amateur Bull Fights Train Youthful Ean Derilleros in Mexico
Youth in Mexican country towns train to become matadores using shawls as capes and sticks as lances. Boys act as picadors and banderilleros in staged bull events with blooded bulls, often ending with injuries. Queens of the fiesta preside as cheers rise for each dangerous feat and the crowd disperses after a festive finale with a padded horned ball.
