Below The Belt Show (www.belowthebeltshow.com) brings to you exclusive interviews with 2026 Tribeca Festival (tribecafilm.com/) selected films' creators and actors! BTB's own Al Sotto talks to Supermodel Monika "Jac" Jagaciak and Director Branislav Jankic from the Tribeca selected documentary short film "White Belt". The film is about "former supermodel Monika 'Jac' Jagaciak, once the face of global fashion, reveals her extraordinary transformation as she trades runways for grappling mats, confronting her past and reclaiming her life through the discipline of combat sport." We talk to the husband and wife team about the inspiration to pursue jiu-jitsu, their training with former world champion Gregor Gracie, A.I. and how it affects the filmmaking and modeling industry and more! We ask Monika about the fashion industry today, the Victoria's Secret controversy and whether she would grapple Gisele Bundchen!
