The Matador is a 2008 documentary film about David Fandila's quest to become the world's top-ranked bullfighter.[1] It first premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival and had since met with mostly positive reviews.[2]

The film follows Fandila's three-year journey into bullfighting history as the violent cultural tradition is questioned.
