Álvaro Múnera was once "El Pilarico" the star bullfighter. Then in 1984, he was gored by a bull which left him confined to a wheelchair. Today he’s a staunch animal rights defender and works to have bullfighting banned.
He tells host Jonathan Groubert about his bullfighting career, the attack that changed his life, his recuperation, the woman who called him a murderer and how he became an anti-bullfighting campaigner.

Beautiful interview. Thank you! I hope Alvaro learns to forgive himself someday. He's changed now and that's what matters.
Thanks for the kind words. Where did you hear us?
The most interesting interview I had heard in years. Thank you.
