Ready Steady Cut

It doesn’t last long, but Netflix’s short documentary is a powerful, feminine look at female sumo wrestling.

The perfect documentary short leaves you simultaneously wishing for more and appreciating the brevity of what has been placed in front of you. Such is the case with Netflix's Little Miss Sumo.

I was so pleasantly surprised. Kon Hiyori is so full of passion and I hope that the pro sports world will accept her and people like her.

Great cinematography and an inspiring story, she is a true athlete and deserves to be treated as such. I used to think I wanted to see a traditional Sumo match in Japan but now I think I'd rather watch the women's sumo!
