Igualada
Juan Mejía Botero / 2024 / Colombia / 81 min.
Synopsis: In one of Latin America’s most unequal countries, Francia Márquez, a rural Colombian activist of African descent, challenges the status quo with a presidential campaign that reappropriates the derogatory term ‘igualada’ — someone who acts as if they deserve rights they supposedly do not — and inspires an entire nation to dream.
After the screening, a conversation will take place with Juan Mejía Botero, director of the film; Sonia Serna, producer; Juan Esteban Yepes, producer. Moderated by: Gabriela Sofía Cáceres, activist for Afro rights, winner of the 2018 Young Talent Woman Award.
