DOC NYC Selects Presents
IGUALADA
A fllm by Juan Mejía Botero
(Colombia/Mexico/USA, 2024, 81 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

In the 2022 Colombian presidential campaign, Francia Márquez, a Black woman from a rural background, challenges the status quo by declaring her candidacy. Reappropriating the derogatory term “igualada,” Márquez disrupts more than Colombia’s conservative echelons of power—she interrogates the dynamics of governmental power itself.

Directed by DOC NYC’s 2016 Audience Award winning filmmaker Juan Meija Botero (Death by a Thousand Cuts) and filmed over 15 years, Igualada reveals profound lessons for nations in political upheaval all over the world.
