About the film:
In Colombia, a nation marred by profound racial and socio-economic disparities, a black woman from a rural background challenges the status quo by launching a presidential campaign. Reappropriating the term ‘igualada’, Francia Márquez catapults a movement to the upper echelons of power by refusing to ‘know her place’. Fifteen years in the making, this documentary peels back the curtain on how unprecedented change can happen.
Director: Juan Mejia Botero
Duration: 1 hr 21 minutes
