Inspired by true events, The Moment of Truth finds a Texan art student facing down life, death, love, and glory in the bullfighting rings of 1950s Mexico.
While Kathleen struggles to perform alongside the unwelcoming men of Mexicoβs bullfighting scene, she is befriended by Julio, better known as El CabritoβThe Kid. Much to Ferminβs displeasure, not only does Julio show Kathleen techniques that defy his strict instruction, but a forbidden romance quickly ignites between them.
As time passes, Kathleenβs confidence in her ability increasesβthough so too do her suspicions of Ferminβs intentions. She has become a sensation, selling out arenas as La Diosa Tejana, the Texan Goddess. But while Fermin gets rich, Kathleenβs pay remains pitiful and her instructorβs control over her life remains absolute. Will she always be a vehicle for another personβs success? Or will she finally face her own moment of truth and seize the success that she has worked toward for so long, in a world that has always belonged to men?
