IGUALADA
Juan Mejia Botero | Documentary | 2024 | 1h 21 min | Colombia, USA, Mexico – Spanish (english subtitles)
In Colombia, a country marred by deep racial and socio-economic disparities, a black woman from a rural background is challenging the status quo by launching a presidential campaign. By reappropriating the term “igualada,” Francia Márquez is catapulting a movement to the upper echelons of power by refusing to “know her place.”
