Set in 1954, the film follows trailblazing activist Esmeralda Arboleda, portrayed by Julieth Restrepo, as she and a determined group of women fight against the political establishment to win the right to vote. Colombia was the last country in Latin America to grant women suffrage, and the film captures the courage and persistence it took to overcome eight congressional debates and generations of systemic resistance.

Following the screening, we’ll host a live Q&A session featuring actresses, Barbara Perea and Paula Castaño.

We’ll also welcome special guest Marcela Venegas, actress and cultural advocate, who will speak in person about the film’s contemporary relevance.
