Michelito Lagravere is 16 years old. The day he was born, his bullfighter father was being hit by a bull. At 4 years old, Michelito would run around his house with a towel and "fight" his pet dog. At 6 years old, he killed his first calf. At 11 he killed 6 bulls in a single day, and at age 14, officially, he turned into the youngest bullfighter ever.

For this episode of VICE Profiles, we went to Merida on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, to meet this young bullfighter, his parents, and his younger brother André "El Galo," who is following in Michelito's footsteps and is poised to become the next great bullfighter in Mexico. The Lagravere brothers aim at being the best at a tradition in Mexico that is less and less celebrated, or accepted.
