Igualada

At Sundance 2024 , I watched "Igualada." This film centers on a Colombian black single mother who becomes the vice president, sharing powerful stories of resilience against government treatment of her village. This story is incredibly inspiring, and what stood out was its accessibility. Unlike other lengthy, artsy documentaries, it was easy to follow and exceptionally well-made.

Over 15 years, they captured her journey, chronicling events that unfolded in her life. A particularly impactful moment was when a feminist questioned Francia about her stance on feminism. Her clear and thoughtful response personally earned my respect. Francia emerged as a woman who wouldn't let external influences manipulate her.

It's remarkable that, without big financial backing, she gained widespread support, attracting numerous young volunteers. Her journey to becoming the Vice President of Colombia symbolizes women's power and the essence of free speech.

I highly recommend it.
