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,” (derogatory term based on class, race, and gender used to designate someone who acts as if they deserve rights), 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.

Join us and the film's director, Juan Mejia to see this film and hear about the making of it.
